Hauke Mehrtens bf32177a1d kernel: remove full cache flush in fuse_copy_do() for MIPS
This patch was introduced in commit r16412 for the brcm47xx target only
and then moved to generic in commit r32395. It was initially added
because of ticket #5186 and should fix some problems with fuse file
systems and MIPS caches. The commit comment in r32395 says that this a
generic problem in MIPS CPUs, but does not name any specifics about
that. There was a fix added to kernel 2.6.21 in commit commit
7575a49f20 "[MIPS] Implement flush_anon_page()." that should fix this
problem, but that was already available before both commits were done
to OpenWrt.

I just tested fuse with ntfs.3g without this patch on a BCM4704
(BMIPS3300 V0.6) SoC and haven't seen any problems. Someone reported
that removing this patch improves some fuse operations by 5 times on
some modern MIPS cores.
My test was only a simple "dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/zero bs=5000" to an
USB stick.

This patch removes the patch to OpenWrt, because I assume that it is
not needed any more and Felix, the orginal author, also thinks so.
