[U-Boot] [PATCH] ARM1136: Fix cache_flush() error and correct cpu_init_crit() comments

The ARM1136 cache_flush() function uses the "mcr p15, 0, rn, c7, c7, 0"
instruction which means "Invalidate Both Caches" when in fact the intent
is to "Clean and Invalidate Entire Data Cache".  So change the ARM1136
cache_flush() function to use the "mcr p15, 0, rn, c7, c7, 0 @ Clean &
invalidate D-Cache" instruction to insure that memory is consistent
with any dirty cache lines.

Also fix a couple of "flush v*" comments in ARM1136 cpu_init_crit() so
that they correctly describe the actual ARM1136 CP15 C7 Cache Operations
used.
