I guess for all platforms, ARCH_HAS_FIRST_USER_ADDRESS would have just
evaluated to be false hence falling back on the generic definition. So
this never complained during build any where or during boot on arm64.

Agreed, <linux/pgtable.h> includes <asm/pgtable.h> at the beginning and
if the arch defines FIRST_USER_ADDRESS, the generic one afterwards would
be skipped. The following change builds on multiple platforms.
