[PATCH] arm64/mm: Drop INIT_MM_CONTEXT()

Platform override for INIT_MM_CONTEXT() is redundant because swapper_pg_dir
always gets assigned as the pgd during init_mm initialization. So just drop
this override on arm64.

Originally this override was added via the 'commit 2b5548b68199 ("arm64/mm:
Separate boot-time page tables from swapper_pg_dir")' because non standard
init_pg_dir was assigned as the pgd. Subsequently it was changed as default
swapper_pg_dir by the 'commit ba5b0333a847 ("arm64: mm: omit redundant
remap of kernel image")', which might have also just dropped this override.
