RISC-V: Introduce sv48 support without relocatable kernel
This patchset allows to have a single kernel for sv39 and sv48 without
being relocatable.
The idea comes from Arnd Bergmann who suggested to do the same as x86,
that is mapping the kernel to the end of the address space, which allows
the kernel to be linked at the same address for both sv39 and sv48 and
then does not require to be relocated at runtime.
This implements sv48 support at runtime. The kernel will try to boot
with 4-level page table and will fallback to 3-level if the HW does not
support it. Folding the 4th level into a 3-level page table has almost
no cost at runtime.
Note that kasan region had to be moved to the end of the address space
since its location must be known at compile-time and then be valid for
both sv39 and sv48 (and sv57 that is coming).
