[PATCH 1/2] ARM: setupc_32: remove relocation code from setup_c

All callers of setup_c() already call relocate_to_current_adr() or
relocate_to_adr() before setup_c(), so the relocation (memcpy) code
in setup_c is dead and also the sync_caches_for_execution() is unnecessary
Remove it and reduce setup_c to just clearing BSS.
