Subject: [PATCH v3 22/60] arm64: idreg-override: Avoid kstrtou64() to parse a single hex digit

All ID register value overrides are =0 with the exception of the nokaslr
pseudo feature which uses =1. In order to remove the dependency on
kstrtou64(), which is part of the core kernel and no longer usable once
we move idreg-override into the early mini C runtime, let's just parse a
single hex digit (with optional leading 0x) and set the output value
accordingly.
