x86/mm/KASLR: Compute the size of the vmemmap section properly



The size of the vmemmap section is hardcoded to 1 TB to support the
maximum amount of system RAM in 4-level paging mode - 64 TB.

However, 1 TB is not enough for vmemmap in 5-level paging mode. Assuming
the size of struct page is 64 Bytes, to support 4 PB system RAM in 5-level,
64 TB of vmemmap area is needed:

  4 * 1000^5 PB / 4096 bytes page size * 64 bytes per page struct / 1000^4 TB = 62.5 TB.

This hardcoding may cause vmemmap to corrupt the following
cpu_entry_area section, if KASLR puts vmemmap very close to it and the
actual vmemmap size is bigger than 1 TB.

So calculate the actual size of the vmemmap region needed and then align
it up to 1 TB boundary.

In 4-level paging mode it is always 1 TB. In 5-level it's adjusted on
demand. The current code reserves 0.5 PB for vmemmap on 5-level. With
this change, the space can be saved and thus used to increase entropy
for the randomization.

 [ bp: Spell out how the 64 TB needed for vmemmap is computed and massage commit
   message. ]
