After the regions have been created, now we enable the MPU. For this we disable
the background region so that the new memory map created for the regions take
effect. Also, we treat all RW regions as non executable and the data cache is
enabled.

Changes from :-

v2 - 1. Extracted from the previous patch into a new one.

2. Disabled background region.

v3 - 1. Removed dsb before setting SCTLR_EL2. The reason being
From ARM DDI 0487K.a D23-7349:
"Direct writes to these registers (includes SCTLR_EL2) are not allowed to affect
any instructions appearing in program order before the direct write."
So, we don't need a synchronization barrier before writing to SCTLR_EL2.
Further, we do have synchronization barriers after writing the MPU region
registers (which happens before we read SCTLR_EL2). So, SCTLR_EL2 is written
after the MPU registers are synchronized. And, thus adding a 'isb' to flush the
instruction pipeline ensures that the subsequent instructions are fetched after
the MPU has been enabled.

2. Saved and restored lr in enable_boot_cpu_mm().

v4 - 1. Moved the definition of SCTLR_ELx_BR from sysregs.h from head.S. The
reason being sysregs.h does not exist any longer (refer to previous patch for
details) and SCTLR_ELx_BR is used in head.S only.
(I have preserved the R-b abd A-b, let me know if that is ok).

v5 - 1. No changes.
