[PATCH] arm64: mm: take CWG into account in __inval_cache_range()

Currently, the arm64 implementation of __inval_cache_range() [aka
__dma_inv_range()] takes CTR_EL0.Dminline into account for two purposes:
- the stride to use for doing by-VA cache maintenance,
- to check whether the start and end arguments are unaligned with respect
  to the cache line size, in which case the unaligned extremes need to be
  cleaned before being invalidated, to avoid corrupting adjacent unrelated
  memory contents.

In the second case, the use of Dminline is incorrect, and should use the
CWG field instead, since an invalidate operation could result in cache
lines that are larger than Dminline to be evicted at any level of the
cache hierarchy.

So introduce a macro cache_cwg_size to retrieve the CWG value, and use it
to clean as many cachelines as required on either end of the [start, end)
interval.
