arm64: mm: don't acquire mutex when rewriting swapper

Since commit:

... when building with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y and booting under
QEMU TCG with '-cpu max', there's a boot-time splat:

Since commit:

  ee017ee353506fce ("arm64/mm: avoid fixmap race condition when create pud mapping")

... once the kernel leave the SYSTEM_BOOTING state, the fixmap pagetable
entries are protected by the fixmap_lock mutex.

The new KPTI rewrite code uses __create_pgd_mapping() to create a
temporary pagetable. This happens in atomic context, after secondary
CPUs are brought up and the kernel has left the SYSTEM_BOOTING state.
Hence we try to acquire a mutex in atomic context, which is generally
unsound (though benign in this case as the mutex should be free and all
other CPUs are quiescent).

This patch avoids the issue by pulling the mutex out of alloc_init_pud()
and calling it at a higher level in the pagetable manipulation code.
This allows it to be used without locking where one CPU is known to be
in exclusive control of the machine, even after having left the
SYSTEM_BOOTING state.
