[PATCH 3/4] [mm/nommu]: use copy_to_user_page to call flush icache for [#811] toolchain old bug

[Bryan Wu <cooloney@kernel.org>]

access_process_vm in mm/memory.c uses copy_to_user_page and
copy_from_user_page. So for !MMU we'd better do the same thing.
Other archs with mmu do the cache flush in copy_to_user_page.
It gives me hint that copy_to_user_page is designed to flush
the cache. On other side, no archs do the cache flush ptrace.
