arm64: setup: name `tcr` register



In __cpu_setup we conditionally manipulate the TCR_EL1 value in x10
after previously using x10 as a scratch register for unrelated temporary
variables.

To make this a bit clearer, let's move the TCR_EL1 value into a named
register `tcr`. To simplify the register allocation, this is placed in
the highest available caller-saved scratch register, tcr.

Following the example of `mair`, we initialise the register with the
default value prior to any feature discovery, and write it to MAIR_EL1
after all feature discovery is complete, which allows us to simplify the
featuere discovery code.

The existing `mte_tcr` register is no longer needed, and is replaced by
the use of x10 as a temporary, matching the rest of the MTE feature
discovery assembly in __cpu_setup. As x20 is no longer used, the
function is now AAPCS compliant, as we've generally aimed for in our
assembly functions.

There should be no functional change as as a result of this patch.
