arm64: kernel: drop unnecessary PoC cache clean+invalidate
Some early boot code runs before the virtual placement of the kernel is finalized, and we used to go back to the very start and recreate the ID map along with the page tables describing the virtual kernel mapping, and this involved setting some global variables with the caches off. In order to ensure that global state created by the KASLR code is not corrupted by the cache invalidation that occurs in that case, we needed to clean those global variables to the PoC explicitly. This is no longer needed now that the ID map is created only once (and the associated global variable updates are no longer repeated). So drop the cache maintenance that is no longer necessary.
