arm64: fix fixmap copy for 16K pages and 48-bit VA
With 16K pages and 48-bit VAs, the PGD level of table has two entries, and so the fixmap shares a PGD with the kernel image. Since commit: f9040773b7bbbd9e ("arm64: move kernel image to base of vmalloc area") ... we copy the existing fixmap to the new fine-grained page tables at the PUD level in this case. When walking to the new PUD, we forgot to offset the PGD entry and always used the PGD entry at index 0, but this worked as the kernel image and fixmap were in the low half of the TTBR1 address space. As of commit: 14c127c957c1c607 ("arm64: mm: Flip kernel VA space") ... the kernel image and fixmap are in the high half of the TTBR1 address space, and hence use the PGD at index 1, but we didn't update the fixmap copying code to account for this. Thus, we'll erroneously try to copy the fixmap slots into a PUD under the PGD entry at index 0. At the point we do so this PGD entry has not been initialised, and thus we'll try to write a value to a small offset from physical address 0, causing a number of potential problems. Fix this be correctly offsetting the PGD. This is split over a few steps for legibility.
