[PATCH 6/5] x86/KASLR: Fix detection 32/64 bit bootloaders for 5-level paging

["Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

KASLR uses hack to detect whether we booted via startup_32() or
startup_64(): it checks what is loaded into cr3 and compares it to
_pgtables. _pgtables is the array of page tables where early code
allocates page table from.

KASLR expects cr3 to point to _pgtables if we booted via startup_32(), but
that's not true if we booted with 5-level paging enabled. In this case top
level page table is allocated separately and only the first p4d page table
is allocated from the array.

Let's modify the check to cover both 4- and 5-level paging cases.

The patch also renames 'level4p' to 'top_level_pgt' as it now can hold
page table for 4th or 5th level, depending on configuration.
