[PATCH v1 02/13] arm64: Do not enable uaccess for invalidate_icache_range

invalidate_icache_range() works on the kernel linear map, and
doesn't need uaccess. Remove the code that toggles
uaccess_ttbr0_enable, as well as the code that emits an entry
into the exception table (via the macro
invalidate_icache_by_line).

No functional change intended.
