erofs: address D-cache aliasing

From: Gao Xiang <hsiangkao at linux.alibaba.com>

commit 27917e8194f91dffd8b4825350c63cb68e98ce58 upstream.

Flush the D-cache before unlocking folios for compressed inodes, as
they are dirtied during decompression.

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.

Fixes: 3883a79abd02 ("staging: erofs: introduce VLE decompression support")
