ARM: l2c: avoid calling outer_flush_all() unnecessarily (Spear)
Spear calls outer_flush_all() from it's SMP bringup function. This is potentially dangerous as the L2C set/way operations which implement this don't take kindly to concurrent operations. Besides, there's better solutions to this, as implemented on other platforms. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
