[PATCH] arm64: head: remove unnecessary instructions from __relocate_kernel

[Puranjay Mohan]

Formerly, we had to access the RELA and RELR tables via the kernel
mapping that was being relocated, and so deriving the start and end
addresses was done by loading __rela_offset in x9 and then adding the
actual virtual offset of the kernel to it.

d7bea550279d ("arm64: head: use relative references to the RELA and RELR
tables") changed this to load the entries via the ID map as we map the
entire kernel image via the ID map.

The two instructions for finding the actual virtual offset were left by
that commit, so remove them now as they are unnecessary and add runtime
overhead.

Fixes: d7bea550279d ("arm64: head: use relative references to the RELA and RELR tables")
