From: bui duc phuc <phucduc.bui@gmail.com>

Calling regcache_sync() while cache_only is enabled is invalid API
usage, since writes are intentionally kept in the cache and cannot
be synchronized to hardware.
Document that callers must disable cache_only before calling
regcache_sync(), and reject incorrect usage with a WARN_ON() and
-EINVAL.

Changes in v2 : 
 - Check cache_only under the lock.
 - Update the function comment.
