[PATCH 17/18] arm64: makefile: Ensure TEXT_OFFSET doesn't overlap with trampoline

When CONFIG_ARM64_RANDOMIZE_TEXT_OFFSET=y, we could end up with a
TEXT_OFFSET of less than 2 * PAGE_SIZE, which would result in an
overlap with the trampoline and a panic on boot.

Fix this by restricting the minimum value of the random TEXT_OFFSET
value so that it is not less than 2 pages when CONFIG_UNMAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0
is enabled.

I do wonder whether we should just remove
CONFIG_ARM64_RANDOMIZE_TEXT_OFFSET completely, since we're realistically
never going to be able to change our offset from 0x80000, but this keeps
the dream alive for now.
