84: Remove unnecessary branch instruction in crt0 r=Lokathor a=ketsuban

I noticed a while ago that the BEQ instruction wasn't actually doing anything because I forgot the difference between SUB and SUBS (the latter sets condition flags). Moreover, I don't need a BEQ in the first place since ARM instructions are inherently conditional; it's not a huge deal, but it improves performance for this early code because the pipeline stays nice and full.
