[PATCH] ARM: errata: Update the workaround for the 742231 Cortex-A9 erratum

Workaround for the 742231 erratum has been updated, which explains
that bit #22 is required only for Cortex-A9 MPcore configuration with
1 single processor and the ACP present.

That means, it's not needed for the SMP kernel.

 Since #742231 is associated with SMP, it's safe to remove bit #22
 for now, but I'm concerned that 'MPcore + 1 processor + ACP' case
 still remains as untreated.  Do we need to support the case?
