riscv: kexec: Fixup synchronization problem between init_mm and active_mm



The machine_kexec() uses set_memory_x to modify the direct mapping
attributes from RW to RWX. The current implementation of set_memory_x
does not split hugepages in the linear mapping and then when a PGD
mapping is used, the whole PGD is marked as executable. But changing
the permissions at the PGD level must be propagated to all the page
tables. When kexec jumps into control_buffer, the instruction page
fault happens, and there is no minor_pagefault for it, then panic.

The bug is found on an MMU_sv39 machine, and the direct mapping used a
1GB PUD, the pgd entries. Here is the bug output:

Given the current flaw in the set_memory_x implementation, the simplest
solution is to fix machine_kexec() to remap control code page outside
the linear mapping. Because the control code buffer was moved from the
direct mapping area to the vmalloc location, we need an additional
va_va_offset to fix up va_pa_offset.
