[PATCH] riscv: mm: Remove setup_zero_page()

The empty_zero_page sits at .bss..page_aligned section, so will be
cleared to zero during clearing bss, we don't need to clear it again.

Hi Palmer,

This patch was one of v3 series of "riscv: improve self-protection"
and acked by Anup. I checked Linus tree this tonight, it seems the v2 or
v1 was merged, this patch is missing, so I rebased and sent out this patch.
If it's late for linux-5.13, then I can rebase again once linux-5.13-rc1
is released.

Thanks in advance
