Subject: [PATCH v9 08/23] x86/decompressor: Assign paging related global variables earlier

There is no need to defer the assignment of the paging related global
variabled 'pgdir_shift' and 'ptrs_per_p4d' until after the trampoline is
cleaned up, so assign them as soon as it is clear that 5-level paging
will be enabled.
