Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] riscv: Fix crash during early errata patching

The patch function for the T-Head PBMT errata calls __pa_symbol() before
relocation. This crashes when CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is enabled, because
__pa_symbol() forwards to __phys_addr_symbol(), and __phys_addr_symbol()
checks against the absolute kernel start/end address.

Fix this by checking against the kernel map instead of a symbol address.

Fixes: a35707c3d850 ("riscv: add memory-type errata for T-Head")

Changes in v2:
 - Fix __phys_addr_symbol instead of avoiding it in the errata code
