[PATCH] ARM: vector_table: Fix creation of second level page table

The second level page tables can only start at a 1MiB section boundary,
so instead of calling arm_create_pte() with the high vector address
(which is 0xffff0000, not 1MiB aligned) we have to call it with
0xfff00000 to correctly create a second level page table. The vectors
themselves worked as expected with the old value, but the memory around
it did not do a 1:1 mapping anymore. This breaks SoCs which have
peripherals in that area, for example Atmel SoCs like the AT91RM9200.
