[U-Boot] [PATCH v5 2/2] arm: cache: always flush cache line size for page table

From: Stefan Agner <stefan.agner at toradex.com>

The page table is maintained by the CPU, hence it is safe to always
align cache flush to a whole cache line size. This allows to use
mmu_page_table_flush for a single page table, e.g. when configure
only small regions through mmu_set_region_dcache_behaviour.
