[PATCH 05/17] ARM: fixup_pv_table bug when CPU_ENDIAN_BE8

The fixup_pv_table assumes that the instructions are in the same
endian configuration as the data, but when the CPU is running in
BE8 the instructions stay in little-endian format.
Make sure if CONFIG_CPU_ENDIAN_BE8 is set that we do all the
alterations to the instructions taking in to account the LDR/STR
will be swapping the data endian-ness.
Since the code is only modifying a byte, we avoid dual-swapping
the data, and just change the bits we clear and ORR in.
Note, not tested against an actual bug, it looked wrong.
