[PATCH 2/3] arm64: efi: Ensure efi_create_mapping() does not map overlapping regions

Since the EFI page size is 4KB, it is possible for a !4KB page kernel to
align an EFI runtime map boundaries in a way that they can overlap
within the same page. This requires the current create_pgd_mapping()
code to be able to split existing larger mappings when an overlapping
region needs to be mapped.

With this patch, efi_create_mapping() scans the EFI memory map for
overlapping regions and trims the length of the current map to avoid a
large block mapping and subsequent split.
