Title:
  rfi-flush: Switch to new linear fallback flush

Status in The Ubuntu-power-systems project:
  Fix Committed
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in linux source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Artful:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Change flush method from "congruence-first with dependencies" to "linear with no dependencies", which increases flush performance by 8x on P8, and
  3x on P9. Measured with null syscall loop, which will have the flush area in the L2 cache.

  The flush also becomes simpler and more adaptable to different cache
  geometries.

  [Test Case]
  TBD.

  [Regression Potential]
  The risk is deemed low since the changes are confined to POWER only and the provided test kernels have been tested by IBM.
