[PATCH V2] arm64/mm: Validate hotplug range before creating linear mapping

[Anshuman Khandual <anshuman.khandual@arm.com>]

During memory hotplug process, the linear mapping should not be created for
a given memory range if that would fall outside the maximum allowed linear
range. Else it might cause memory corruption in the kernel virtual space.

Maximum linear mapping region is [PAGE_OFFSET..(PAGE_END -1)] accommodating
both its ends but excluding PAGE_END. Max physical range that can be mapped
inside this linear mapping range, must also be derived from its end points.

When CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS_52 is enabled, PAGE_OFFSET is computed with the
assumption of 52 bits virtual address space. However, if the CPU does not
support 52 bits, then it falls back using 48 bits instead and the PAGE_END
is updated to reflect this using the vabits_actual. As for PAGE_OFFSET,
bits [51..48] are ignored by the MMU and remain unchanged, even though the
effective start address of linear map is now slightly different. Hence, to
reliably check the physical address range mapped by the linear map, the
start address should be calculated using vabits_actual. This ensures that
arch_add_memory() validates memory hot add range for its potential linear
mapping requirement, before creating it with __create_pgd_mapping().

This applies on 5.10-rc3

Changes in V2:

- Replaced (start + size) with (start + size - 1) in the comparison per Ard
