mm,kfence: decouple kfence from page granularity mapping judgement

Kfence only needs its pool to be mapped as page granularity, if it is
inited early. Previous judgement was a bit over protected. From [1], Mark
suggested to "just map the KFENCE region a page granularity". So I
decouple it from judgement and do page granularity mapping for kfence
pool only. Need to be noticed that late init of kfence pool still requires
page granularity mapping.

Page granularity mapping in theory cost more(2M per 1GB) memory on arm64
platform. Like what I've tested on QEMU(emulated 1GB RAM) with
gki_defconfig, also turning off rodata protection:
Before:
[root@liebao ]# cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal:         999484 kB
After:
[root@liebao ]# cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal:        1001480 kB

To implement this, also relocate the kfence pool allocation before the
linear mapping setting up, arm64_kfence_alloc_pool is to allocate phys
addr, __kfence_pool is to be set after linear mapping set up.
