[PATCH] arm64: Add FIX_HOLE to permanent fixed addresses

Every other architecture with permanent fixed addresses has
FIX_HOLE as the first entry. This seems to be designed as a
debugging aid but there are a couple of side effects of not
having FIX_HOLE:
- If the first fixed address is 0, fix_to_virt -> virt_to_fix
triggers a BUG_ON for the virtual address being equal to
FIXADDR_TOP
- fix_to_virt may return a value outside of FIXADDR_START
and FIXADDR_TOP which may look like a bug to a developer.
Match up with other architectures and make everything clearer
by adding FIX_HOLE.
