Extends the user space ioctl for CL submissions so it can include a request
to flush the cache once the CL execution has completed. Fixes memory
write violation messages reported by the kernel in workloads involving
shader memory writes (SSBOs, shader images, scratch, etc) which sometimes
also lead to GPU resets during Piglit and CTS workloads.
v2: if v3d_job_init() fails we need to kfree() the job instead of
v3d_job_put() it (Eric Anholt).
v3 (Eric Anholt):
- Drop _FLAG suffix from the new flag name.
- Add a new param so userspace can tell whether cache flushing is
implemented in the kernel.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
