x86: cpa, only flush the cache if the caching attributes have changed
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We only need to flush the caches in cpa() if the the caching attributes
have changed. Otherwise only flush the TLBs.

This checks the PAT bits too although they are currently not used by
the kernel.
