Thank you for great feedback.
Please check title and description. 
If these are appropriate, I will write the same in v4.

[Title]
arm64: Cleanup __cpu_set_tcr_t0sz()

[Description]
The T0SZ field of TCR_EL1 occupies bits 0-5 of the register and
encodes the virtual address space translated by TTBR0_EL1. When
updating the field, for example because we are switching to/from
the idmap page-table, __cpu_set_tcr_t0sz() erroneously treats its
't0sz' argument as unshifted, resulting in harmless but confusing
double shifts by 0 in the code. Therefore, Remove the unnecessary
shifts.

Okay. I got it.
In v4, I'll leave only Leem ChaeHoon and me.

Oops. You're right. My mistake.
In v4, I'll remove this.
