[U-Boot] [PATCH v4 08/11] armv8: layerscape: Fix the sequence of changing MMU table

This patch follows the break-before-make process when making changes
to MMU table. MMU is disabled before changing TTBR to avoid any
potential race condition.

Signed-off-by: York Sun <york.sun at nxp.com>

Changes in v4:
  Revert the change of C bit in v3 patch.

Changes in v3:
  Instead of flushing d-cache, following the break-before-make process
  to change MMU table.

Changes in v2: None
