arm: Allow lr to be saved by board code

The link register value can be required on some boards (e.g. FEL mode on
sunxi) so use a branch instruction to jump to save_boot_params() instead
of a branch link.

This requires a branch back to save_boot_params_ret so adjust the users
to deal with this. For exynos just drop the function since it doesn't
do anything.
