Moving the flush_dcache_page() outside the loop to be
flush_dcache_folio() changes the behavior of the function.

Initially, if it fails to copy the entire page, the function breaks out
of the loop and returns the number of unwritten bytes without
flushing the page from the cache. Now if it fails, it will still flush
out the page it failed on, as well as any later pages it may not
have gotten to yet.
