UBI: block: Add missing cache flushes
commit 98fb1ffd upstream. Block drivers are responsible for calling flush_dcache_page() on each BIO request. This operation keeps the I$ coherent with the D$ on architectures that don't have hardware coherency support. Without this flush, random crashes are seen when executing user programs from an ext4 filesystem backed by a ubiblock device. This patch is based on the change implemented in commit 2d4dc890 ("block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a request's pages").
