Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant 8ff0dd57bf kernel: drop MIPS fix cache flushing for highmem pages
This patch, in a variety of forms, has been around since beginning 2016
as e756c2bb07, ending up in present form 0aa6c7df60 (kernel 4.4.13 bump)
and carried forward ever since.

There have been a number of MIPS kernel memory handling changes since,
including VDSO fixes that meant openwrt patches have been dropped with
no apparent fallout.

Simple tests (ntfs-3g) on a HIGHMEM 512MB mt7621 device have not turned
up data corruption issues which would otherwise be expected.  Similarly
running on other MIPS based devices for the past 2 months hasn't turned
up anything obvious to retain this out of tree patch.

With thanks to Rosen Penev for testing on the known 'highmem' device and
Felix Fietkau for testing advice.  Not putting acked-by as it's my fault
if it breaks :-)
