x86/efi: Build our own page table structures

With commit e1a58320a38d ("x86/mm: Warn on W^X mappings") all
users booting on 64-bit UEFI machines see the following warning,

  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 1 at arch/x86/mm/dump_pagetables.c:225 note_page+0x5dc/0x780()
  x86/mm: Found insecure W+X mapping at address ffff88000005f000/0xffff88000005f000
  ...
  x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: FAILED, 165660 W+X pages found.
  ...

This is caused by mapping EFI regions with RWX permissions.
There isn't much we can do to restrict the permissions for these
regions due to the way the firmware toolchains mix code and
data, but we can at least isolate these mappings so that they do
not appear in the regular kernel page tables.

In commit d2f7cbe7b26a ("x86/efi: Runtime services virtual
mapping") we started using 'trampoline_pgd' to map the EFI
regions because there was an existing identity mapping there
which we use during the SetVirtualAddressMap() call and for
broken firmware that accesses those addresses.

But 'trampoline_pgd' shares some PGD entries with
'swapper_pg_dir' and does not provide the isolation we require.
Notably the virtual address for __START_KERNEL_map and
MODULES_START are mapped by the same PGD entry so we need to be
more careful when copying changes over in
efi_sync_low_kernel_mappings().

This patch doesn't go the full mile, we still want to share some
PGD entries with 'swapper_pg_dir'. Having completely separate
page tables brings its own issues such as synchronising new
mappings after memory hotplug and module loading. Sharing also
keeps memory usage down.
