Subject: [PATCH] arm64/mm: Validate CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS

CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS has been statically defined in (arch/arm64/Kconfig)
depending on the page size and requested virtual address range. In order to
validate this page table levels selection this adds a BUILD_BUG_ON() as per
the existing formula ARM64_HW_PGTABLE_LEVELS(). This would help protect any
inadvertent changes to CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS selection.
