[PATCH 2/2] arm64: drop kernel segment resources from /proc/iomem

By the same reasoning as commit c4004b02f8e5 ("x86: remove the kernel
code/data/bss resources from /proc/iomem"), the kernel code and kernel
data entries in /proc/iomem probably do more harm than good on arm64 as
well. So remove them.
