[RFC PATCH v2 14/18] 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,
and invalidate the I-cache so we can safely execute from it after
disabling the MMU and caches.

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.
