I'm confused by the commit message mentioning synchronization but
the code doing a cache flush. I see that arm64 implementation of
flush_cache_vmap() is just a dsb(). If it is synchronization that
we need here (and it certainly looks like we do), why not just add
the dsb() directly to make that clear?
