Subject: [PATCHv6 2/4] x86/boot/compressed/64: Introduce paging_prepare()

This patch renames l5_paging_required() into paging_prepare() and
changes the interface of the function.

This is a preparation for the next patch, which would make the function
also allocate memory for the 32-bit trampoline.

The function now returns a 128-bit structure. RAX would return
trampoline memory address (zero for now) and RDX would indicate if we
need to enabled 5-level paging.
