gru: fix prefetch and speculation bugs
Fix several bugs related to prefetch, ordering & speculation:
- GRU cch_allocate() instruction causes cacheable memory
to be created. Add a barriers to prevent speculation
from prefetching data before it exists.
- Add memory barriers before cache-flush instructions to ensure
that previously stored data is included in the line flushed to memory.
