[RFC PATCH] crypto: flush poison data

On my Allwinner D1 nezha, the sun8i-ce fail self-tests due to:
alg: skcipher: cbc-des3-sun8i-ce encryption overran dst buffer on test vector 0

In fact the buffer is not overran by device but by the dma_map_single() operation.

To prevent any corruption of the poisoned data, simply flush them before
giving the buffer to the tested driver.

Hello

I put this patch as RFC, since this behavour happen only on non yet merged RISCV code.
(Mostly riscv: implement Zicbom-based CMO instructions + the t-head variant)

Regards
