[PATCH] arm64: kaslr: ignore modulo offset when validating virtual displacement

In the KASLR setup routine, we ensure that the early virtual mapping
of the kernel image does not cover more than a single table entry at
the level above the swapper block level, so that the assembler routines
involved in setting up this mapping can remain simple.
In this calculation we add the proposed KASLR offset to the values of
the _text and _end markers, and reject it if they would end up falling
in different swapper table sized windows.
However, when taking the addresses of _text and _end, the modulo offset
(the physical displacement modulo 2 MB) is already accounted for, and
so adding it again results in incorrect results. So disregard the modulo
offset from the calculation.

This still leaves the 16K pages issue, but I think this solves the problem
encountered by Mark.
