[PATCH v3] mm,kfence: decouple kfence from page granularity mapping judgement

Kfence only needs its pool to be mapped as page granularity, previous
judgement was a bit over protected. Decouple it from judgement and do
page granularity mapping for kfence pool only [1].

To implement this, also relocate the kfence pool allocation before the
linear mapping setting up, arm64_kfence_alloc_pool is to allocate phys
addr, __kfence_pool is to be set after linear mapping set up.
