[PATCH 5/6] remoteproc: mtk_apu: Don't try to use the APU local RAM

Currently, this local RAM is not accessible from the CPU.
If the CPU tries to access it, then the CPU will hang.

Remoteproc may try to use it when it load a firmware
that has some sections in the local RAM.
This workarounds the issue by skiping this section.
