[PATCHv4 03/12] arm64: Introduce helpers for page table levels

[Suzuki K. Poulose]

Introduce helpers for finding the number of page table
levels required for a given VA width, shift for a particular
page table level.

Convert the existing users to the new helpers. More users
to follow.

Changes since V2:
  - Add comments around the macros
  - Change ARM64_HW_PGTABLE_LEVEL_SHIFT to accept pagetable level as
    described by ARM ARM
