[PATCH] ARM: initialize jump labels before setup_machine_fdt()

Stephen reported that a static key warning splat appears during early
boot on arm64 systems that credit randomness from device trees that
contain an "rng-seed" property, because setup_machine_fdt() is called
before jump_label_init() during setup_arch(), which was fixed by
73e2d827a501 ("arm64: Initialize jump labels before
setup_machine_fdt()").

Upon cursory inspection, the same basic issue appears to apply to arm32
as well. In this case, we reorder setup_arch() to do things in the same
order as is now the case on arm64.
