[PATCH v5 1/7] OMAP3: PM: Update clean_l2 to use v7_flush_dcache_all

From: Richard Woodruff <r-woodruff2 at ti.com>

Analysis in TI kernel with ETM showed that using cache mapped flush
in kernel instead of SO mapped flush cost drops by 65% (3.39mS down
to 1.17mS) for clean_l2 which is used during sleep sequences.
Overall:
	- speed up
	- unfortunately there isn't a good alternative flush method today
	- code reduction and less maintenance and potential bug in
	  unmaintained code

This also fixes the bug with the clean_l2 function usage.

v3: modified comment to add remark that lr is used since we are running in SRAM
    currently - this is to help developers transition this code eventually to
    SDRAM.
