BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1686519

This change adds a force psl data cache flush during device shutdown
callback. This should reduce a possibility of psl holding a dirty
cache line while the CAPP is being reinitialized, which may result in
a UE [load/store] machine check error.
