[PATCH] ARM: mm: Fix ECC mem policy printk

ECC policy can be applied to the whole system
when this bit is implemented by SoC vendor
(IMP - bit 9 - in L1 page table entry format).
When this bit is not implemented by SoC vendor
it doesn't mean that system has no other way
how to do ECC.
This patch ensures to show this message only when ECC
is requested via cmd line ecc=on and runs on
appropriate ARM core.

Russell, Will: We discussed this at KS that will be good
to rephrase it or have different logic around this.
I am not sure if we can also test that this bit is
implemented by particular SoC or not.

Maybe logic should be that if SoC uses this bit
that message is shown in origin format to declare
that ECC is enabled or disabled.
When SoC doesn't implement it then do not show this message.
