ARM: 8894/1: boot: Replace open-coded nop with macro
This open-coded nop as mov r0, r0 is a development history artifact. First commit b11fe38883d1 ("ARM: 6663/1: make Thumb2 kernel entry point more similar to the ARM one") moved the code around so that the nops would come before the conditional thumb instructions, as it turned out that some boot loaders were patching the initial nop instructions in the kernel. At this point it is clear that all mov r0,r0 are open-coded nops. Then commit 81a0bc39ea19 ("ARM: add UEFI stub support") moved things around and defined __nop for EFI support and missed this open-coded nop. commit 06a4b6d009a1 ("ARM: 8677/1: boot/compressed: fix decompressor header layout for v7-M") makes all invocations of __nop be wide, but that is fine, because this is what we want: the mov r0,r0 is inside ifndef CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL.
