arm64: convert part of soft_restart() to assembly

The current soft_restart() and setup_restart implementations incorrectly
assume that compiler will not spill/fill values to/from stack. However
this assumption seems to be wrong, revealed by the disassembly of the
currently existing code (v3.16) built with Linaro GCC 4.9-2014.05.

Here the compiler generates memory accesses after the cache is disabled,
loading stale values for the spilled value and global variable. As we cannot
control when the compiler will access memory we must rewrite the
functions in assembly to stash values we need in registers prior to
disabling the cache, avoiding the use of memory.
