ARM: cacheflush: add synchronization helpers for mixed cache state accesses

Algorithms used by the MCPM layer rely on state variables which are
accessed while the cache is either active or inactive, depending
on the code path and the active state.

This patch introduces generic cache maintenance helpers to provide the
necessary cache synchronization for such state variables to always hit
main memory in an ordered way.

+ * Memory synchronization helpers for mixed cached vs non cached accesses.
+ *
+ * Some synchronization algorithms have to set states in memory with the
+ * cache enabled or disabled depending on the code path.  It is crucial
+ * to always ensure proper cache maintenance to update main memory right
+ * away in that case.
+ *
+ * Any cached write must be followed by a cache clean operation.
+ * Any cached read must be preceded by a cache invalidate operation.
+ * Yet, in the read case, a cache flush i.e. atomic clean+invalidate
+ * operation is needed to avoid discarding possible concurrent writes to the
+ * accessed memory.
+ *
+ * Also, in order to prevent a cached writer from interfering with an
+ * adjacent non-cached writer, each state variable must be located to
+ * a separate cache line.
