ARM: qcom: scm: Flush the command buffer only instead of the entire cache
scm_call flushes the entire cache before calling into the secure world. This is both a performance penalty as well as insufficient on SMP systems where the CPUs possess a write-back L1 cache. Flush only the command and response buffers instead, moving the responsibility of flushing any other cached buffer (being passed to the secure world) to callers.
