We really don't want to take an exception while replacing TTBR1 so we mask DAIF during the actual update. Currently this is done in the assembly function idmap_cpu_replace_ttbr1() but it could equally be done in the only caller of that function, cpu_replace_ttbr1(). This simplifies the assembly code slightly and means that when working with the code around masking DAIF flags there is one less piece of assembly code which needs to be considered. While we're at it add a comment which makes explicit why we are masking DAIF in this code. There should be no functional effect.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
