arm64: mm: use single quantity to represent the PA to VA translation
On arm64, the global variable memstart_addr represents the physical address of PAGE_OFFSET, and so physical to virtual translations or vice versa used to come down to simple additions or subtractions involving the values of PAGE_OFFSET and memstart_addr. When support for 52-bit virtual addressing was introduced, we had to deal with PAGE_OFFSET potentially being outside of the region that can be covered by the virtual range (as the 52-bit VA capable build needs to be able to run on systems that are only 48-bit VA capable), and for this reason, another translation was introduced, and recorded in the global variable physvirt_offset. However, if we go back to the original definition of memstart_addr, i.e., the physical address of PAGE_OFFSET, it turns out that there is no need for two separate translations: instead, we can simply subtract the size of the unaddressable VA space from memstart_addr to make the available physical memory appear in the 48-bit addressable VA region. This simplifies things, but also fixes a bug on KASLR builds, which may update memstart_addr later on in arm64_memblock_init(), but fails to update vmemmap and physvirt_offset accordingly.
