[PATCH v2 2/2] common/memsize.c: Fix get_ram_size() when cache is enabled

From: Emanuele Ghidoli <emanuele.ghidoli at toradex.com>

Ensure that every write is flushed to memory and afterward reads are
from memory.
Since the algorithm rely on the fact that accessing to not existent
memory lead to write at addr / 2 without this modification accesses
to aliased (not physically present) addresses are cached and
wrong size is returned.

This was discovered while working on a TI AM625 based board
where cache is normally enabled, see commit c02712a74849 ("arm: mach-k3: Enable dcache in SPL").

v2:
 * check if CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE is defined
 * do flush only when cache is enabled
