[PATCH] ARM: mm: fix no-MMU ZERO_PAGE() implementation

[Giulio Benetti]

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:
```
#define virt_to_pfn(0) \
	((((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. Then let's move ZERO_PAGE()
definition to the top of pgtable.h to be in common between mmu.c and
nommu.c.
