[PATCH V2] arm64: head: remove __PHYS_OFFSET

From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland at arm.com>
It's very easy to confuse __PHYS_OFFSET and PHYS_OFFSET. To clarify
things, let's remove __PHYS_OFFSET and use KERNEL_START directly, with
comments to show that we're using physical address, as we do for other
objects.
At the same time, update the comment regarding the kernel entry address
to mention __pa(KERNEL_START) rather than __pa(PAGE_OFFSET).
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
