ARM: Better virt_to_page() handling

virt_to_page() is incredibly inefficient when virt-to-phys patching is
enabled.  This is because we end up with this calculation:

  page = &mem_map[asm virt_to_phys(addr) >> 12 - __pv_phys_offset >> 12]

in assembly.  The asm virt_to_phys() is equivalent this this operation:

  addr - PAGE_OFFSET + __pv_phys_offset

and we can see that because this is assembly, the compiler has no chance
to optimise some of that away.  This should reduce down to:

  page = &mem_map[(addr - PAGE_OFFSET) >> 12]

for the common cases.  Permit the compiler to make this optimisation by
giving it more of the information it needs - do this by providing a
virt_to_pfn() macro.

Another issue which makes this more complex is that __pv_phys_offset is
a 64-bit type on all platforms.  This is needlessly wasteful - if we
store the physical offset as a PFN, we can save a lot of work having
to deal with 64-bit values, which sometimes ends up producing incredibly
horrid code:

     a4c:       e3009000        movw    r9, #0
                        a4c: R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC  __pv_phys_offset
     a50:       e3409000        movt    r9, #0          ; r9 = &__pv_phys_offset
                        a50: R_ARM_MOVT_ABS     __pv_phys_offset
     a54:       e3002000        movw    r2, #0
                        a54: R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC  __pv_phys_offset
     a58:       e3402000        movt    r2, #0          ; r2 = &__pv_phys_offset
                        a58: R_ARM_MOVT_ABS     __pv_phys_offset
     a5c:       e5999004        ldr     r9, [r9, #4]    ; r9 = high word of __pv_phys_offset
     a60:       e3001000        movw    r1, #0
                        a60: R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC  mem_map
     a64:       e592c000        ldr     ip, [r2]        ; ip = low word of __pv_phys_offset
