[PATCH 5/6] arm64: head: clean the ID map page to the PoC

If we enter with the MMU and caches enabled, the caller may not have
performed any cache maintenance. So clean the ID mapped page to the PoC,
to ensure that instruction and data accesses with the MMU off see the
correct data.
Note that this means primary_entry() itself needs to be moved into the
ID map as well, as we will return from init_kernel_el() with the MMU and
caches off.
