Subject: [PATCH v3 15/19] x86, kaslr: Introduce fetch_random_virt_offset to randomize the kernel text mapping address

Kaslr extended kernel text mapping region size from 512M to 1G,
namely CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET. This means kernel text
can be mapped to below region:

[__START_KERNEL_map + LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR, __START_KERNEL_map + 1G]

Introduce a function find_random_virt_offset() to get random value
between LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR and CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET.
This random value will be added to __START_KERNEL_map to get the
starting address which kernel text is mapped from. Since slot can
be anywhere of this region, means it is an independent slot_area,
it is very simple to get a slot according to random value.
