You should drop above.

Lorenzo and myself discussed about the above expensive flush and he
is planning to post a similar patch but with small difference.

Lorenzo's patch was limiting above flush to local cache (LOUs) instead
of dropping
it completely.

Just thinking bit more, even in case we drop the flush_cache_all()
completely, it should be safe since the suspend_finisher()  takes
care of the cache maintenance already.
