LoongArch: Add support for kernel address space layout randomization (KASLR)

Browse source

This patch adds support for relocating the kernel to a random address.

Entropy is derived from the banner, which will change every build and
random_get_entropy() which should provide additional runtime entropy.

The kernel is relocated by up to RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET bytes from
its link address. Because relocation happens so early during the kernel
booting, the amount of physical memory has not yet been determined. This
means the only way to limit relocation within the available memory is
via Kconfig. So we limit the maximum value of RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET
to 256M (0x10000000) because our memory layout has many holes.
