arm64: mm: allocate pagetables anywhere

Browse source

Now that create_mapping uses fixmap slots to modify pte, pmd, and pud
entries, we can access page tables anywhere in physical memory,
regardless of the extent of the linear mapping.

Given that, we no longer need to limit memblock allocations during page
table creation, and can leave the limit as its default
MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE.

We never add memory which will fall outside of the linear map range
given phys_offset and MAX_MEMBLOCK_ADDR are configured appropriately, so
any tables we create will fall in the linear map of the final tables.
