[boot-wrapper PATCH 03/12] Remove cache maintenance

For models, we assume that out-of-reset caches ar invalid and no cache
maintenance is required.
We added cache maintenance to the boot-wrapper in commit:
28ec269a22c8dc14 ("Add code to clean and invalidate caches")
... because the boot-wrapper would teansiently use cacheable mappings,
and could allocate into caches. As we were using Set/Way operations, we
were on somewhat shaky ground (e.g. due to system-level caches, or
dirty line migration). Further, we never took FEAT_CCIDX into account,
and so would not necessarily invalidate all potential levels of cache
However, since commit:
0bb7b2545582accf ("Remove MMU identity map setup")
... we no longer enable the MMU within the boot-wrapper, and so no
longer have any reason to perform cache maintenance.
This patch removes the redundant and incomplete cache maintenance.
