[PATCH v2 12/12] ARM: cacheflush: use -ishst dsb variant for ensuring flush completion

flush_cache_vmap contains a dsb to ensure that any cacheflushing
operations to flush out newly written ptes have completed.

This patch adds the -ishst option to the dsb, since that is all that is
required for completing cacheflushing in the inner-shareable domain.
