In systems with three levels of cache(PoU at L1 and PoC at L3),
PoC cache flush instructions flushes L2 and L3 caches which could affect
performance.
For cache flushes for I and D coherency, PoU should suffice.
So changing all I and D coherency related cache flushes to PoU.

Introduced a new __clean_dcache_area_pou API for dcache flush till PoU
and provided a common macro for __flush_dcache_area and
__clean_dcache_area_pou.

Also, now in __sync_icache_dcache, icache invalidation for non-aliasing
VIPT icache is done only for that particular page instead of the earlier
__flush_icache_all.
