Subject: [RESEND PATCH v4 4/6] arm64/mm: Create the final page table directly in swapper_pg_dir.

As the initial page table is created in the init_pg_dir, we can set
up the final page table directly in the swapper_pg_dir. And it only
contains the top level page table, so we can reduce it to a page
size.
