[PATCH v4 2/3] selftests/resctrl: Implement cl_flush() and sb() for aarch64

[Richard Cheng <icheng@nvidia.com>]

cl_flush() and sb() compile to empty functions on aarch64, making
mem_flush() a silent no-op and leaving CMT/CAT tests operating on
unflushed state.

Add "dsb sy" for sb(), ARM requires a DSB whose access type covers both
loads and stores.

For cl_flush(), "dc civac" only reaches the Point of Coherency, on
ARM MPAM systems the SLC lies past the PoC and may be a NOP on coherent
platforms. Instead, dirty each cacheline with a store so that
mem_flush's full-buffer sweep evicts lines from the SLC via LRU
pressure.

Changes since v3:
  - cl_flush(): replace "dc civac" with a dirty store. dc civac only
    cleans to the Point of Coherency, so it does not reach the SLC
    where MPAM cache portions are enforced. Rely on LRU eviction from
    mem_flush()'s full-buffer sweep instead.
