In preparation to bigger changes to arm64_relocate_new_kernel that would enable this function to do MMU backed memory copy, do few clean-ups and optimizations. These include: 1. Call raw_dcache_line_size() only when relocation is actually going to happen. i.e. kdump type kexec, does not need it. 2. copy_page(dest, src, tmps...) increments dest and src by PAGE_SIZE, so no need to store dest prior to calling copy_page and increment it after. Also, src is not used after a copy, not need to copy either. 3. For consistency use comment on the same line with instruction when it describes the instruction itself. 4.
