Remove dma_cache_(wback|inv|wback_inv) functions

dma_cache_(wback|inv|wback_inv) were the earliest attempt on a generalized
cache managment API for I/O purposes.  Originally it was basically the raw
MIPS low level cache API exported to the entire world.  The API has
suffered from a lack of documentation, was not very widely used unlike it's
more modern brothers and can easily be replaced by dma_cache_sync.  So
remove it rsp.  turn the surviving bits back into an arch private API, as
discussed on linux-arch.

 /*
- * The caches on some architectures aren't dma-coherent and have need to
- * handle this in software.  There are three types of operations that
- * can be applied to dma buffers.
- *
- *  - dma_cache_wback_inv(start, size) makes caches and RAM coherent by
- *    writing the content of the caches back to memory, if necessary.
- *    The function also invalidates the affected part of the caches as
- *    necessary before DMA transfers from outside to memory.
- *  - dma_cache_inv(start, size) invalidates the affected parts of the
- *    caches.  Dirty lines of the caches may be written back or simply
- *    be discarded.  This operation is necessary before dma operations
- *    to the memory.
- *  - dma_cache_wback(start, size) writes back any dirty lines but does
- *    not invalidate the cache.  This can be used before DMA reads from
- *    memory,
