[PATCH v3 02/19] arm64: make clean_dcache_range_nopatch() visible

From: "Russell King (Oracle)" <rmk+kernel at armlinux.org.uk>

When we hook into the kernel text patching code, we will need to call
clean_dcache_range_nopatch() to ensure that the patching of the
replicated kernel text is properly visible to other CPUs. Make this
function available to the replication code.
