We currently allocate different levels of page tables with a variety of
differing flags, and the PGALLOC_GFP flags, intended for use when
allocating any level of page table, are only used for ptes in
pte_alloc_one. On x86, PGALLOC_GFP is used for all page table
allocations.
Currently the major differences are:
* __GFP_NOTRACK -- Needed to ensure page tables are always accessible in
the presence of kmemcheck to prevent recursive faults. Currently
kmemcheck cannot be selected for arm64.
* __GFP_REPEAT -- Causes the allocator to try to reclaim pages and retry
upon a failure to allocate.
* __GFP_ZERO -- Sometimes passed explicitly, sometimes zalloc variants
are used.
While we've no encountered issues so far, it would be preferable to be
consistent. This patch ensures all levels of table are allocated in the
same manner, with PGALLOC_GFP.

When the pgd size is smaller than PAGE_SIZE, pgd_alloc() uses kzalloc()
to save space. However, this is not always naturally aligned as required
by the architecture. This patch creates a kmem_cache for pgd allocations
with the correct alignment.
The current kernel configurations with 4K pages + 39-bit VA and 64K
pages + 42-bit VA use a full page for the pgd and are not affected. The
patch is required for 48-bit VA with 64K pages where the pgd is 512
bytes.

Currently pgd_alloc has a redundant NULL check in its return path that
can be removed with no ill effects. With that removed it's also possible
to return early and eliminate the new_pgd temporary variable.
This patch applies said modifications, making the logic of pgd_alloc
correspond 1-1 with that of pgd_free.

This patch adds support for the handling of the MMU faults (exception
entry code introduced by a previous patch) and page table management.
The user translation table is pointed to by TTBR0 and the kernel one
(swapper_pg_dir) by TTBR1. There is no translation information shared or
address space overlapping between user and kernel page tables.
