x86/efi: Correct EFI identity mapping under 'efi=old_map' when KASLR is enabled



For EFI with the 'efi=old_map' kernel option specified, the kernel will panic
when KASLR is enabled:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 000000007febd57e
  IP: 0x7febd57e
  PGD 1025a067
  PUD 0

  Oops: 0010 [#1] SMP
  Call Trace:
   efi_enter_virtual_mode()
   start_kernel()
   x86_64_start_reservations()
   x86_64_start_kernel()
   start_cpu()

The root cause is that the identity mapping is not built correctly
in the 'efi=old_map' case.

On 'nokaslr' kernels, PAGE_OFFSET is 0xffff880000000000 which is PGDIR_SIZE
aligned. We can borrow the PUD table from the direct mappings safely. Given a
physical address X, we have pud_index(X) == pud_index(__va(X)).

However, on KASLR kernels, PAGE_OFFSET is PUD_SIZE aligned. For a given physical
address X, pud_index(X) != pud_index(__va(X)). We can't just copy the PGD entry
from direct mapping to build identity mapping, instead we need to copy the
PUD entries one by one from the direct mapping.

Fix it.
