[PATCH] arm: flush: don't abuse pfn_valid() to check if pfn is in RAM

Since commit a4d5613c4dc6 ("arm: extend pfn_valid to take into account
freed memory map alignment") changes the semantics of pfn_valid() to check
presence of the memory map for a PFN. __sync_icache_dcache() should use
memblock_is_map_memory() instead of pfn_valid() to check if a PFN is in
RAM or not.In Some uio case we will get a crash on a system with the
following memory layout:

 node   0: [mem 0x00000000c0a00000-0x00000000cc8fffff]
 node   0: [mem 0x00000000d0000000-0x00000000da1fffff]
 the uio layout is:0xc0900000, 0x100000

the crash backtrace like:
