[PATCH v2 5/5] powerpc/pmem: Avoid the barrier in flush routines

["Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com>]

nvdimm expect the flush routines to just mark the cache clean. The barrier
that mark the store globally visible is done in nvdimm_flush().

Update the papr_scm driver to a simplified nvdim_flush callback that do
only the required barrier.
