[PATCH v32 05/13] arm64: mm: allow for unmapping part of kernel mapping

create_pgd_mapping() is enhanced here so that it will accept
PAGE_KERNEL_INVALID protection attribute and unmap a given range of memory.

The feature will be used in a later kdump patch to implement the protection
against possible corruption of crash dump kernel memory which is to be set
aside from ther other memory on primary kernel.

Note that, in this implementation, it assumes that all the range of memory
to be processed is mapped in page-level since the only current user is
kdump where page mappings are also required.
