[PATCH] arm/entry: set x0 before cache maintenance.



There is a long standing issue in entry code of arm that x0 is not
set before using it in clean_and_invalidate_dcache_range. This error
can be caught by kvm and result in core dump.
Here, x0 is set to the base address of dtb before cache maintain.
