[PATCH] ARM: allow empty ATAG_CORE

From: David Brown <davidb at quicinc.com>
The ATAG_CORE is allowed to be empty. Although this is handled
by parse_tag_core(), __vet_atags during startup rejects this tag
unless it contains data. Allow the initial tag to be either the
full size, or empty.

Sorry, previous patch didn't actually do anything, since the new
constant was defined incorrectly.
