ARC: dma [non IOC]: fix arc_dma_sync_single_for_(device|cpu)
ARC backend for dma_sync_single_for_(device|cpu) was broken as it was not honoring the @dir argument and simply forcing it based on the call: - arc_dma_sync_single_for_device(dir) assumed DMA_TO_DEVICE (cache wback) - arc_dma_sync_single_for_cpu(dir) assumed DMA_FROM_DEVICE (cache inv) This is not true given the DMA API programming model and has been discussed here [1] in some detail. Interestingly while the deficiency has been there forever, it only started showing up after 4.17 dma common ops rework, commit a8eb92d02dd7 ("arc: fix arc_dma_{map,unmap}_page") which wired up these calls under the more commonly used dma_map_page API triggering the issue.
