[PATCH] ARM: cacheflush: Remove unused secure_flush_area API

[PATCH] ARM: cacheflush: Remove unused secure_flush_area API

[Andy Gross]

This patch removes the unused secure_flush_area function.  The only
consumer of this function has moved to using the streaming DMA APIs.

Looks fine, and from what I can see, nothing depends on it in mainline,
so please put it in the patch system.  Thanks.
