Nikolay Borisov 54183d103d x86/kexec: Remove spurious unconditional JMP from from identity_mapped()
This seemingly straightforward JMP was introduced in the initial version
of the the 64bit kexec code without any explanation.

It turns out (check accompanying Link) it's likely a copy/paste artefact
from 32-bit code, where such a JMP could be used as a serializing
instruction for the 486's prefetch queue. On x86_64 that's not needed
because there's already a preceding write to cr4 which itself is
a serializing operation.

  [ bp: Typos. Let's try this and see what cries out. If it does,
    reverting it is trivial. ]
