arm64: head.S: remove unnecessary function alignment
Currently __turn_mmu_on is aligned to 64 bytes to ensure that it doesn't span any page boundary, which simplifies the idmap and spares us requiring an additional page table to map half of the function. In keeping with other important requirements in architecture code, this fact is undocumented. Additionally, as the function consists of three instructions totalling 12 bytes with no literal pool data, a smaller alignment of 16 bytes would be sufficient. This patch reduces the alignment to 16 bytes and documents the underlying reason for the alignment. This reduces the required alignment of the entire .head.text section from 64 bytes to 16 bytes, though it may still be aligned to a larger value depending on TEXT_OFFSET.
