BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852723

The 4.15.0-71.80 generic kernel can not boot on several arm64 machines.
Bisect patches and find out we can solve this problem by reverting
a single patch which comes from stable kernel update.

This reverts commit 628859e8621cbb105cfbfa2138a68ddbd72958a7.
