mm: hugetlb: fix missing cache flush in hugetlb_mcopy_atomic_pte()

folio_copy() will copy the data from one page to the target page, then
the target page will be mapped to the user space address, which might
have an alias issue with the kernel address used to copy the data from
the page to.  There are 2 ways to fix this issue.

 1) insert flush_dcache_page() after folio_copy().

 2) replace folio_copy() with copy_user_huge_page() which already
    considers the cache maintenance.

We chose 2) way to fix the issue since architectures can optimize this
situation.  It is also make backports easier.
