[PATCH v2] arm64: mm: Align PGDs to at least 64 bytes

My copy of the ARM ARM (DDI 0487I.a) no longer describes the 64 byte
minimum alignment of root page tables as being conditional on whether
52-bit physical addressing is supported and enabled, even though I seem
to remember that this was the case formerly (and our code suggests the
same).
Section D17.2.144 "TTBR0_EL1, Translation Table Base Register 0 (EL1)"
contains the following wording:
----Note----
A translation table is required to be aligned to the size of the
table. If a table contains fewer than eight entries, it must be
aligned on a 64 byte address boundary
So align pgd_t[] allocations to 64 bytes. Note that this change only
affects 16k/4 levels configurations, which are unlikely to be in wide
use.
