Probably because the generic Crypto API has the same check.  This
all goes back to

commit 4f3e797ad07d52d34983354a77b365dfcd48c1b4

    crypto: scatterwalk - Avoid flush_dcache_page on slab pages

    It's illegal to call flush_dcache_page on slab pages on a number
    of architectures.  So this patch avoids doing so if PageSlab is
    true.

    In future we can move the flush_dcache_page call to those page
    cache users that actually need it.

    Reported-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
    Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

But I can't find any emails discussing this so let me ask Dave
directly and see if he can tell us what the issue was or might
have been.

Thanks,
