arm64: kaslr: Adjust randomization range dynamically
Currently, we base the KASLR randomization range on a rough estimate of
the available space in the upper VA region: the lower 1/4th has the
module region and the upper 1/4th has the fixmap, vmemmap and PCI I/O
ranges, and so we pick a random location in the remaining space in the
middle.
Once we enable support for 5-level paging with 4k pages, this no longer
works: the vmemmap region, being dimensioned to cover a 52-bit linear
region, takes up so much space in the upper VA region (the size of which
is based on a 48-bit VA space for compatibility with non-LVA hardware)
that the region above the vmalloc region takes up more than a quarter of
the available space.
So instead of a heuristic, let's derive the randomization range from the
actual boundaries of the vmalloc region.
