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>
