[PATCH v2 04/17] x86/startup_64: Drop global variables to keep track of LA57 state

[Ard Biesheuvel]

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>

On x86_64, the core kernel is entered in long mode, which implies that
paging is enabled. This means that the CR4.LA57 control bit is
guaranteed to be in sync with the number of paging levels used by the
kernel, and there is no need to store this in a variable.

There is also no need to use variables for storing the calculations of
pgdir_shift and ptrs_per_p4d, as they are easily determined on the fly.
Other assignments of global variables related to the number of paging
levels can be deferred to the primary C entrypoint that actually runs
from the kernel virtual mapping.

This removes the need for writing to __ro_after_init from the code that
executes extremely early via the 1:1 mapping.
