[PATCH V2] riscv: kexec: Fixup synchronization problem between init_mm and active_mm

From: Guo Ren <guoren at linux.alibaba.com>

The machine_kexec() uses set_memory_x to modify the direct mapping
attributes from RW to RWX. But set_memory_x only changes the init_mm's
attributes, not current->active_mm, so when kexec jumps into
control_buffer, the instruction page fault happens, and there is no
minor_pagefault for it, then panic.

The bug is found on an MMU_sv39 machine, and the direct mapping used a
1GB PUD, the pgd entries. Here is the bug output:

 kexec_core: Starting new kernel
 Will call new kernel at 00300000 from hart id 0

The solution is to fix machine_kexec() to remap control code page outside
the linear mapping.
