[PATCH 1/6] ARM: l2x0: fix disabling function to avoid livelock

The l2x0_disable function attempts to writel with the l2x0_lock held.
This results in livelock when the writel contains an outer_sync call
for the platform.

This patch replaces the writel with a call to writel_relaxed in the
disabling code, preventing livelock from occurring.
