[PATCH] arm64/mm: Create level specific section mappings in map_range()

Currently PMD section mapping mask i.e PMD_TYPE_SECT is used while creating
section mapping at all page table levels except the last level. This works
fine as the section mapping masks are exactly the same (0x1UL) for all page
table levels.
This will change in the future with D128 page tables that have unique skip
level values (SKL) required for creating section mapping at different page
table levels. Hence use page table level specific section mapping macros
instead of the common PMD_TYPE_SECT.

This patch applies on 6.14-rc5
PGD_TYPE_SECT for level -1 section map handling has been added for 4K
base pages with 52 bit VA configuration that has 5 page table levels.
In such cases (CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS = 5) early_map_kernel() can call
map_range() eventually with -1 (i.e 4 - CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS) as the
root_level.
