[RFC PATCH 10/10] arm64: mm: restrict __pa() translations to linear virtual addresses

Now that we have replaced all occurrences of __pa() translations
involving virtual addresses that are covered by the kernel text,
we can redefine __virt_to_phys and __pa() etc to only take virtual
address that are covered by the linear mapping. This means we can
remove the comparison with PAGE_OFFSET in the definition of
__virt_to_phys().
