arm64: head: Move early kernel mapping routines into C code

The asm version of the kernel mapping code works fine for creating a
coarse grained identity map, but for mapping the kernel down to its
exact boundaries with the right attributes, it is not suitable. This is
why we create a preliminary RWX kernel mapping first, and then rebuild
it from scratch later on.

So let's reimplement this in C, in a way that will make it unnecessary
to create the kernel page tables yet another time in paging_init().

arm64: head: move dynamic shadow call stack patching into early C runtime

Once we update the early kernel mapping code to only map the kernel once
with the right permissions, we can no longer perform code patching via
this mapping.

So move this code to an earlier stage of the boot, right after applying
the relocations.
