nvme: Invalidate dcache before submitting admin cmd

This patch try to avoids eviction of dirty lines during DMA
transfer. The code right now execute the following step:

- allocate the buffer
- start a dma operation using the non-coherent dma buffer
- invalidate cache lines associated with the buffer
- read the buffer

This can lead to reading back not valid information, because the cache
controller could evict dirty cache lines belonging to the buffer *after*
the DMA operation has started to fill the DRAM.
In order to avoid this, a new invalidation is required *before* starting
the DMA operation. The patch just adds an invalidation before submitting
the DMA command.

Example below shows the nvme disk scan result without the following
patch

=> nvme scan
nvme_get_info_from_identify: nn = 544502629, vwc = 100,
sn = dev_0T, mn = `�\�, fr = t_part, mdts = 105

So, invalidating the cache before submitting the admin command,
fix the cpu read.
