[ARM] Don't call consistent_sync() for DMA coherent memory
Memory allocated by the coherent memory allocators will be marked
uncacheable, which means it's pointless calling consistent_sync()
to perform cache maintainence on this memory; it's just a waste of
CPU cycles.
Moreover, with the (subsequent) merge of outer cache support, it
actually breaks things to call consistent_sync() on anything but
direct-mapped memory.
