[PATCH 4/8] ARM: mm: Pass the constant as an argument to fixup_pv_table()

Current fixup_pv_table() API hardcoded the constant to be
patched. Make that as an argument to fixup_pv_table() so that
different type of instructions can be patched.

This is preparatory patch to add the subsequent 64 bit patching.
