hw/arm: Avoid address_space_stl_notdirty() when generating bootloader
When using the '-kernel' command line option, a bootloader is
emitted, calling address_space_stl_notdirty().
The _notdirty() variant is supposed to /not/ mark the updated
CODE page as dirty, to not re-translate it. However this code
is only used with the '-kernel' CLI option after the machine
is created and /before/ the vCPUs run, and *only* during the
first (cold) reset; not during following (hot) resets. The
optimisation is totally not justified, since we haven't
translated any guest code yet.
Replace by the normal address_space_stl() helper.
