Add 2 early command line parameters that allow to downgrade satp mode
(using the same naming as x86):
- "no5lvl": use a 4-level page table (down from sv57 to sv48)
- "no4lvl": use a 3-level page table (down from sv57/sv48 to sv39)

Note that going through the device tree to get the kernel command line
works with ACPI too since the efi stub creates a device tree anyway with
the command line.

Also, as those params are treated very early in the boot process and we
use standard device tree functions that may be kasan instrumented, we
only enable them for !KASAN configurations.

v3:
- Massage commit log to make no4lvl clearer, as asked by Conor
- Add a note to kernel-parameters.txt regarding the impossibility to use
  those parameters when KASAN is enabled, as suggested by Conor
- Add RB from Björn

v2:
- Honor CMDLINE_EXTEND and CMDLINE_FORCE as noticed by Björn
