dma-ops: Remove flush_write_buffers() in dma-mapping-common.h

This moves flush_write_buffers() in
asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.h to
arch/x86/kernel/pci-nommu.c.

The purpose of this patch is that, we can avoid defining NULL
flush_write_buffers() on IA64 and SPARC.

dma-mapping-common.h is used by X86 and IA64 (and SPARC soon)
but only X86 with CONFIG_X86_OOSTORE or CONFIG_X86_PPRO_FENCE
actually uses flush_write_buffers(). CONFIG_X86_OOSTORE or
CONFIG_X86_PPRO_FENCE is usable with only kernel/pci-nommu.c
(that is, not usable with other X86 IOMMU implementations such
as SWIOTLB, VT-d, etc) so we can safely move
flush_write_buffers() in asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.h to
arch/x86/kernel/pci-nommu.c.

The further discussion is:
