[PATCH 28/28] ARM: mmu: Introduce ARM_TTB_SIZE

Commit 1c33aacf8a247ab45814b43ac0ca903677afffae ("ARM: use memalign to
allocate page table"), reasonalby changed TTB allocation size from
SZ_32K to SZ_16K (TTB's real size), but it also changed alignment from
SZ_16K to SZ_64K for unclear reasons.

Reading various TTBR related ARM documentation it seems that worst
case alignment for it is 16KiB (bits [0, 13 - N] must be zero) which
also matches early TTB allocation code.

Since both early and regular MMU code has to share this paramter,
introduce ARM_TTB_SIZE and use it in both cases for both size and
alignment.
