x86/boot/compressed: Enable 5-level paging during decompression stage
We need to cover two basic cases: when bootloader left us in 32-bit mode
and when bootloader enabled long mode.
The patch implements unified codepath to enabled 5-level paging for both
cases. It means case when we start in 32-bit mode, we first enable long
mode with 4-level and then switch over to 5-level paging.
Switching from 4-level to 5-level paging is not trivial. We cannot do it
directly. Setting LA57 in long mode would trigger #GP. So we need to
switch off long mode first and the then re-enable with 5-level paging.
NOTE: The need of switching off long mode means we are in trouble if
bootloader put us above 4G boundary. If bootloader wants to boot 5-level
paging kernel, it has to put kernel below 4G or enable 5-level paging on
it's own, so we could avoid the step.
