ARM: 9472/1: fix race condition on PG_dcache_clean in __sync_icache_dcache()

This bug was already discovered and fixed for arm64 in
commit 588a513d3425 ("arm64: Fix race condition on PG_dcache_clean in
__sync_icache_dcache()").

Verified with added instrumentation to track dcache flushes in a ring
buffer, as shown by the (distilled) output:

  kernel: SIGILL at b6b80ac0 cpu 1 pid 32663 linux_pte=8eff659f
          hw_pte=8eff6e7e young=1 exec=1
  kernel: dcache flush START   cpu0 pfn=8eff6 ts=48629557020154
  kernel: dcache flush SKIPPED cpu1 pfn=8eff6 ts=48629557020154
  kernel: dcache flush FINISH  cpu0 pfn=8eff6 ts=48629557036154
  audisp-syslog: comm="journalctl" exe="/usr/bin/journalctl" sig=4 [...]

Discussions in the mailing list mentioned that arch/arm is also affected
but the fix was never applied to it [1][2]. Apply the change now, since
the race condition can cause sporadic SIGILL's and SEGV's especially
while under high memory pressure.
