[PATCH] ARM: highbank: fix cache flush ordering for cpu hotplug

From: Rob Herring <rob.herring at calxeda.com>
The L1 data cache flush needs to be after highbank_set_cpu_jump call which
pollutes the cache with the l2x0_lock. This causes other cores to deadlock
waiting for the l2x0_lock. Moving the flush of the entire data cache after
highbank_set_cpu_jump fixes the problem. Use flush_cache_louis instead of
flush_cache_all are that is sufficient to flush only the L1 data cache.
flush_cache_louis did not exist when highbank_cpu_die was originally
written.
With PL310 errata 769419 enabled, a wmb is inserted into idle which takes
the l2x0_lock. This makes the problem much more easily hit and causes
reset to hang.

Olof, Arnd,
If you have any more 3.9 fixes, please send this in. Otherwise, it can
wait for 3.10 and mark for stable.
