arm64: hibernate: handle allocation failures

In create_safe_exec_page(), we create a copy of the hibernate exit text,
along with some page tables to map this via TTBR0. We then install the
new tables in TTBR0.

In swsusp_arch_resume() we call create_safe_exec_page() before trying a
number of operations which may fail (e.g. copying the linear map page
tables). If these fail, we bail out of swsusp_arch_resume() and return
an error code, but leave TTBR0 as-is. Subsequently, the core hibernate
code will call free_basic_memory_bitmaps(), which will free all of the
memory allocations we made, including the page tables installed in
TTBR0.

Thus, we may have TTBR0 pointing at dangling freed memory for some
period of time. If the hibernate attempt was triggered by a user
requesting a hibernate test via the reboot syscall, we may return to
userspace with the clobbered TTBR0 value.

Avoid these issues by reorganising swsusp_arch_resume() such that we
have no failure paths after create_safe_exec_page(). We also add a check
that the zero page allocation succeeded, matching what we have for other
allocations.
