Revert "arm64: dma: Drop cache invalidation from arch_dma_prep_coherent()"

This reverts commit c44094eee32f32f175aadc0efcac449d99b1bbf7.

Although the semantics of the DMA API require only a clean operation
here, it turns out that the Qualcomm 'qcom_q6v5_mss' remoteproc driver
(ab)uses the DMA API for transferring the modem firmware to the secure
world via calls to Trustzone [1].

Once the firmware buffer has changed hands, _any_ access from the
non-secure side (i.e. Linux) will be detected on the bus and result in a
full system reset [2]. Although this is possible even with this revert
in place (due to speculative reads via the cacheable linear alias of
memory), anecdotally the problem occurs considerably more frequently
when the lines have not been invalidated, assumedly due to some
micro-architectural interactions with the cache hierarchy.

Revert the offending change for now, along with a comment, so that the
Qualcomm developers have time to fix the driver [3] to use a firmware
buffer which does not have a cacheable alias in the linear map.
