Series riscv: Increase mmap_rnd_bits_max on Sv48/57 |

  ARCH_MMAP_RND_BITS_MAX is based on Sv39, which leaves a few
potential bits of mmap randomness on the table if we end up enabling
4/5-level paging. Update mmap_rnd_bits_max to take the final address
space size into account. This increases mmap_rnd_bits_max from 24 to
33 with Sv48/57.

I like this. Is RISCV the only arch where the paging level can be chosen
at boot time?

I haven't seen this elsewhere, but I also haven't looked at all the
other architectures that closely. arm64 does something interesting
with ARM64_VA_BITS_52, but I think we can still handle that in
Kconfig.

AFAIU, x86-64 can do this also:

	no4lvl		[RISCV] Disable 4-level and 5-level paging modes. Forces
			kernel to use 3-level paging instead.

	no5lvl		[X86-64,RISCV] Disable 5-level paging mode. Forces
			kernel to use 4-level paging instead.

Ah-ha! Okay, well, then let's track this idea:

(Replying here for visibility, tell me if you want to move this
discussion to github)

AIUI, x86 cannot do this for compat reasons. Even if you enable LA57,
mmap only gives you < 48-bit addresses, for compatibility with things
like JITs, etc that stash information in the upper 16 bits. You need
to pass a > 48-bit mmap hint to get 57-bit addresses.

I imagine riscv does not have this issue yet, due to little
accumulated cruft, but it may be wise to check against popular JITters
for these problems on riscv code.

We already encountered those issues and the same solution was recently 
merged (restrict to sv48 unless otherwise specified):

We recently ran into this issue when bringing up Android as well
because qemu defaults to Sv57 and some userspace bits weren't happy
with >48-bit mmap addresses.

Note that this patch uses MMAP_VA_BITS, which is 48 for both Sv48 and
Sv57, which is why mmap_rnd_bits_max will be 33 even with Sv57.
