s390/smp: rework absolute lowcore access

Temporary unsetting of the prefix page in memcpy_absolute() routine
poses a risk of executing code path with unexpectedly disabled prefix
page. This rework avoids the prefix page uninstalling and disabling
of normal and machine check interrupts when accessing the absolute
zero memory.

Although memcpy_absolute() routine can access the whole memory, it is
only used to update the absolute zero lowcore. This rework therefore
introduces a new mechanism for the absolute zero lowcore access and
scraps memcpy_absolute() routine for good.

Instead, an area is reserved in the virtual memory that is used for
the absolute lowcore access only. That area holds an array of 8KB
virtual mappings - one per CPU. Whenever a CPU is brought online, the
corresponding item is mapped to the real address of the previously
installed prefix page.

The absolute zero lowcore access works like this: a CPU calls the
new primitive get_abs_lowcore() to obtain its 8KB mapping as a
pointer to the struct lowcore. Virtual address references to that
pointer get translated to the real addresses of the prefix page,
which in turn gets swapped with the absolute zero memory addresses
due to prefixing. Once the pointer is not needed it must be released
with put_abs_lowcore() primitive:

	struct lowcore *abs_lc;
	unsigned long flags;

	abs_lc = get_abs_lowcore(&flags);
	abs_lc->... = ...;
	put_abs_lowcore(abs_lc, flags);

To ensure the described mechanism works large segment- and region-
table entries must be avoided for the 8KB mappings. Failure to do
so results in usage of Region-Frame Absolute Address (RFAA) or
Segment-Frame Absolute Address (SFAA) large page fields. In that
case absolute addresses would be used to address the prefix page
instead of the real ones and the prefixing would get bypassed.
