Can we please stop dumping random code to arch/s390/mm/init.c?

All the protected virtualization functions should go into a separate
file (e.g. mem_encrypt.c like on x86), some of which could also be in
header files.

Please consider this a comment for the future.. just go ahead with
this patch as-is.
