ARM: 8297/1: cache-l2x0: optimize aurora range operations

The aurora_inv_range(), aurora_clean_range() and aurora_flush_range()
functions are highly redundant, both in source and in object code, and
they are harder to understand than necessary.

By moving the range loop into the aurora_pa_range() function, they
become trivial wrappers, and the object code start looking like what
one would expect for an optimal implementation.

Further optimization may be possible by using the per-CPU "virtual"
registers to avoid the spinlocks in most cases.

 (on Armada 370 RD and Armada XP GP, boot tested, plus a little bit of
 DMA traffic by reading data from a SD card)
