[PATCH v2] cmd: cache: Fix non-cached memory cachability

If dcache is switched OFF to ON state and if non-cached memory is
used, this non-cached memory must be re-declared as uncached to mmu
each time dcache is set ON.

Introduce noncached_set_region() to set this non-cached region's mmu
settings. Let architecture override it by defining it as a weak
function.

For ARM architecture, noncached_set_region() defines all noncached
region as non-cacheable.

Issue found on STM32MP1 platform using dwc_eth_qos ethernet driver,
when going from dcache OFF to dcache ON state, ethernet driver issued
TX timeout errors when performing dhcp or ping.

It can be reproduced with the following sequence:

dhcp
while true ; do
  ping 192.168.1.300 ;
  dcache off ;
  ping 192.168.1.300 ;
  dcache on ;
done
