Flush the D-cache before unlocking folios for compressed inodes, as

Avoid calling flush_dcache_folio() on every CPU write, since it's more
like playing whack-a-mole without real benefit.
It has no impact on x86 and arm64/risc-v: on x86, flush_dcache_folio()
is a no-op, and on arm64/risc-v, PG_dcache_clean (PG_arch_1) is clear
for new page cache folios. However, certain ARM boards are affected,
as reported.

Hi Jan and Stefan,
if possible, please help test this patch on your arm devices,
many thanks! I will submit this later but if it's urgent you
could also apply this locally in advance.
Thank you for the fix and great work, it solved the issue I was seeing locally!
Thanks for your confirmation too!
Thanks,
Gao Xiang
