[U-Boot] [PATCH v2] Fix wrong loop bound in flush_cache() when "size" is zero

The issue is found when calling flush_cache() with zero "size" argument.
The bound of loop is miscalculated in this case and flush_cache() enters a wrong flushing loop.
To fix this issue I skipped the operations when "size" is found to be zero.
