[PATCH] [RFC] drivers: dma-coherent: use MEMREMAP_WB instead of MEMREMAP_WC

[Jaewon Kim <jaewon31.kim@samsung.com>]

Commit 6b03ae0d42bf (drivers: dma-coherent: use MEMREMAP_WC for DMA_MEMORY_MA)
added MEMREMAP_WC for DMA_MEMORY_MAP. If, however, CPU cache can be used on
DMA_MEMORY_MAP, I think MEMREMAP_WC can be changed to MEMREMAP_WB. On my local
ARM device, memset in dma_alloc_from_coherent sometimes takes much longer with
MEMREMAP_WC compared to MEMREMAP_WB.

Test results on AArch64 by allocating 4MB with putting trace_printk right
before and after memset.
	MEMREMAP_WC : 11.0ms, 5.7ms, 4.2ms, 4.9ms, 5.4ms, 4.3ms, 3.5ms
	MEMREMAP_WB : 0.7ms, 0.6ms, 0.6ms, 0.6ms, 0.6ms, 0.5ms, 0.4 ms
