Subject: [PATCH 1/3] x86/64/mm: Always use dynamic memory layout

Dynamic memory layout is used by KASLR and 5-level paging.

CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL is going to be removed, making 5-level paging support
unconditional which requires unconditional support of dynamic memory
layout.

Remove CONFIG_DYNAMIC_MEMORY_LAYOUT.
