    xen/arm64: head: Don't clobber x30/lr in the macro PRINT
    
    The current implementation of the macro PRINT will clobber x30/lr. This
    means the user should save lr if it cares about it.
    
    Follow-up patches will introduce more use of PRINT in place where lr
    should be preserved. Rather than requiring all the users to preserve
    lr, the macro PRINT is modified to save and restore it.
    
    While the comment state x3 will be clobbered, this is not the case. So
    PRINT will use x3 to preserve lr.
    
    Lastly, take the opportunity to move the comment on top of PRINT and use
    PRINT in init_uart. Both changes will be helpful in a follow-up patch.
