Subject: [PATCH v5 03/16] x86/startup_64: Use RIP_REL_REF() to access early_dynamic_pgts[]

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@...nel.org>

early_dynamic_pgts[] and next_early_pgt are accessed from code that
executes from a 1:1 mapping so it cannot use a plain access from C.
Replace the use of fixup_pointer() with RIP_REL_REF(), which is better
and simpler.
