[PATCH v2 1/3] ARM: optee-early: drop superfluous sync_caches_for_execution

We expect start_optee_early() to be called with caches disabled, so there
is no point in calling sync_caches_for_execution inside.

Therefore let's verify the assumption that caches are indeed disabled
and drop the useless call.
