[PATCH 2/5] arm64: efi: always map runtime services code and data regions down to pages

To avoid triggering diagnostics in the MMU code that are finicky about
splitting block mappings into more granular mappings, ensure that regions
that are likely to appear in the Memory Attributes table as well as the
UEFI memory map are always mapped down to pages. This way, we can use
apply_to_page_range() instead of create_pgd_mapping() for the second pass,
which cannot split or merge block entries, and operates strictly on PTEs.

Note that this aligns the arm64 Memory Attributes table handling code with
the ARM code, which already uses apply_to_page_range() to set the strict
permissions.
