[PATCH 13/21] arc: dma-mapping: skip invalidating before bidirectional DMA

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd at arndb.de>

Some architectures that need to invalidate buffers after bidirectional
DMA because of speculative prefetching only do a simpler writeback
before that DMA, while architectures that don't need to do the second
invalidate tend to have a combined writeback+invalidate before the
DMA.

arc is one of the architectures that does both, which seems unnecessary.

Change it to behave like arm/arm64/xtensa instead, and use just a
writeback before the DMA when we do the invalidate afterwards.
