All CPU mappings are forced as uncached for Panthor buffer objects when
system(IO) coherency is disabled. Physical backing for Panthor BOs is
allocated by shmem, which clears the pages also after allocation. But
there is no explicit cache flush done after the clearing of pages.
So it could happen that there are dirty cachelines in the CPU cache
for the BOs, when they are accessed from the CPU side through uncached
CPU mapping, and the eviction of cachelines overwrites the data of BOs.
This commit tries to avoid the potential overwrite scenario.
