ARM: 9266/1: mm: fix no-MMU ZERO_PAGE() implementation
Actually in no-MMU SoCs(i.e. i.MXRT) ZERO_PAGE(vaddr) expands to ``` virt_to_page(0) ``` that in order expands to: ``` pfn_to_page(virt_to_pfn(0)) ``` and then virt_to_pfn(0) to: ``` ((((unsigned long)(0) - PAGE_OFFSET) >> PAGE_SHIFT) + PHYS_PFN_OFFSET) ``` where PAGE_OFFSET and PHYS_PFN_OFFSET are the DRAM offset(0x80000000) and PAGE_SHIFT is 12. This way we obtain 16MB(0x01000000) summed to the base of DRAM(0x80000000). When ZERO_PAGE(0) is then used, for example in bio_add_page(), the page gets an address that is out of DRAM bounds. So instead of using fake virtual page 0 let's allocate a dedicated zero_page during paging_init() and assign it to a global 'struct page * empty_zero_page' the same way mmu.c does and it's the same approach used in m68k with commit dc068f462179 as discussed here[0]. Then let's move ZERO_PAGE() definition to the top of pgtable.h to be in common between mmu.c and nommu.c.
