Subject: [PATCH v3] x86, kaslr: get kaslr_enabled back correctly

commit f47233c2d34f ("x86/mm/ASLR: Propagate base load address calculation")
is using address as value for kaslr_enabled.

That will get wrong value for kaslr_enabled, so have problem for system really
have kaslr enabled.

This patch change to using early map and accessing the value.

-v3: add checking about early_memmap according to bp.
