[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 126/133] UBI: block: Add missing cache flushes

[Luis Henriques]

3.16.7-ckt18 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kevin Cernekee <cernekee@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 98fb1ffd8154890d7051750e61ff5548c3ee2ab2 upstream.

Block drivers are responsible for calling flush_dcache_page() on each
BIO request. This operation keeps the I$ coherent with the D$ on
architectures that don't have hardware coherency support. Without this
flush, random crashes are seen when executing user programs from an ext4
filesystem backed by a ubiblock device.

This patch is based on the change implemented in commit 2d4dc890b5c8
("block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a
request's pages").

Fixes: 9d54c8a33eec ("UBI: R/O block driver on top of UBI volumes")
