Revert "arm64: acpi: Enable ACPI CCEL support" 

This reverts commit d02c2e45b1.

Mauro reports that this breaks APEI notifications on his QEMU setup
because the "reserved for firmware" region still needs to be writable
by Linux in order to signal _back_ to the firmware after processing
the reported error:

  | {1}[Hardware Error]: Hardware error from APEI Generic Hardware Error Source: 1

For now, revert the offending commit. We can presumably switch back to
PAGE_KERNEL when bringing this back in the future.
