[PATCH v3 06/30] arm64: head: switch to map_memory macro for the extended ID map

In a future patch, we will start using an ID map that covers the entire
image, rather than a single page. This means that we need to deal with
the pathological case of an extended ID map where the kernel image does
not fit neatly inside a single entry at the root level, which means we
will need to create additional table entries and map additional pages
for page tables.

The existing map_memory macro already takes care of most of that, so
let's just extend it to deal with this case as well. While at it, drop
the conditional branch on the value of T0SZ: we don't set the variable
anymore in the entry code, and so we can just let the map_memory macro
deal with the case where the output address exceeds VA_BITS.

+	 * There are three cases to consider here:

+	 * - VA_BITS == 48, and the ID map needs more than 48 VA bits. This can
+	 *   only happen when using 64k pages, in which case we need to extend
+	 *   the root level table rather than add a level. Note that we can
+	 *   treat this case as 'always extended' as long as we take care not
+	 *   to program an unsupported T0SZ value into the TCR register.

+	 * - Combinations that would require two additional levels of

+	 *   VA_BITS==39/4k pages with 5-level paging, where the input address
+	 *   requires more than 47 or 48 bits, respectively.
