[PATCH v7 12/15] sh: Drop cache flush of the zero page at boot

From: Ard Biesheuvel <[email protected]>

SuperH performs cache maintenance on the zero page during boot,
presumably because before commit

  6215d9f4470f ("arch, mm: consolidate empty_zero_page")

the zero page did double duty as a boot params region, and was cleared
separately, as it was not part of BSS. The memset() in question was
dropped by that commit, but the __flush_wback_region() call remained.

As empty_zero_page[] has been moved to BSS, it can be treated as any
other BSS memory, and so the cache flush can be dropped.
