arm64/kernel: Fix range on invalidating dcache for boot page tables
Prior to commit 8eb7e28d4c642c31 ("arm64/mm: move runtime pgds to rodata"), idmap_pgd_dir, tramp_pg_dir, reserved_ttbr0, swapper_pg_dir, and init_pg_dir were contiguous at the end of the kernel image. The maintenance at the end of __create_page_tables assumed these were contiguous, and affected everything from the start of idmap_pg_dir to the end of init_pg_dir. That commit moved all but init_pg_dir into the .rodata section, with other data placed between idmap_pg_dir and init_pg_dir, but did not update the maintenance. Hence the maintenance is performed on much more data than necessary (but as the bootloader previously made this clean to the PoC there is no functional problem). As we only alter idmap_pg_dir, and init_pg_dir, we only need to perform maintenance for these. As the other dirs are in .rodata, the bootloader will have initialised them as expected and cleaned them to the PoC. The kernel will initialize them as necessary after enabling the MMU. This patch reworks the maintenance to only cover the idmap_pg_dir and init_pg_dir to avoid this unnecessary work.
