block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a request's pages

Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request.  So,
this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
the dcache or with dcache aliases.  The patch fixes this.

The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
flush_dcache_page() is a no-op.  Every architecture was provided with this
flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.

See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion
on LKML for more information.
