[U-Boot] [PATCH 14/18] ARC: implement function to sync I/D caches before relocation

As of today we call flush_dcache_all before relocation, to sync
I/D caches so there are two problems:
 * We also flush SLC (on ARCv2) - this is overhead as SLC is
   shared for data and instructions.
 * We don't invalidate I$ - this can be dangerous if have some
   valid lines in I$ in relocation area for some reason.

Fix this by implementing specialized sync_icache_dcache_all
function.
