 Clearing TTBCR.T1SZ explicitly when kernel runs on a configuration of
PHYS_OFFSET > PAGE_OFFSET.
 Reading TTBCR in early boot stage might returns the value of the
previous kernel's configuration, especially in case of kexec. For
example, if normal kernel (first kernel) had run on a configuration
of PHYS_OFFSET <= PAGE_OFFSET and crash kernel (second kernel) is
running on a configuration PHYS_OFFSET > PAGE_OFFSET, which can happen
because it depends on the reserved area for crash kernel, reading
TTBCR and using the value without clearing TTBCR.T1SZ might risky
because the value doesn't have a reset value for TTBCR.T1SZ.
