Alexandre Ghiti ed96b31435 riscv: Move early dtb mapping into the fixmap region 
commit ef69d2559f upstream.

riscv establishes 2 virtual mappings:

- early_pg_dir maps the kernel which allows to discover the system
  memory
- swapper_pg_dir installs the final mapping (linear mapping included)

We used to map the dtb in early_pg_dir using DTB_EARLY_BASE_VA, and this
mapping was not carried over in swapper_pg_dir. It happens that
early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() must be called before swapper_pg_dir is
setup otherwise we could allocate reserved memory defined in the dtb.
And this function initializes reserved_mem variable with addresses that
lie in the early_pg_dir dtb mapping: when those addresses are reused
with swapper_pg_dir, this mapping does not exist and then we trap.

The previous "fix" was incorrect as early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem()
must be called before swapper_pg_dir is set up otherwise we could
allocate in reserved memory defined in the dtb.

So move the dtb mapping in the fixmap region which is established in
early_pg_dir and handed over to swapper_pg_dir.

This patch had to be backported because:
- the documentation for sv57 is not present here (as sv48/57 are not
  present)

Fixes: 8f3a2b4a96 ("RISC-V: Move DT mapping outof fixmap")
Fixes: 50e63dd8ed ("riscv: fix reserved memory setup")
