arm64: mm: avoid virt_to_phys(init_mm.pgd)
If we take an unhandled fault in the kernel, we call show_pte() to dump
the {PGDP,PGD,PUD,PMD,PTE} values for the corresponding page table walk,
where the PGDP value is virt_to_phys(mm->pgd).
The boot-time and runtime kernel page tables, init_pg_dir and
swapper_pg_dir respectively, are kernel symbols. Thus, it is not valid
to call virt_to_phys() on either of these, though we'll do so if we take
a fault on a TTBR1 address.
When CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is not selected, virt_to_phys() will silently
fix this up. However, when CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is selected, this
results in splats as below. Depending on when these occur, they can
happen to suppress information needed to debug the original unhandled
fault, such as the backtrace:
| Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff7fffec73cf0f

We can avoid this by ensuring that we call __pa_symbol() for
init_mm.pgd, as this will always be a kernel symbol. As the dumped
{PGD,PUD,PMD,PTE} values are the raw values from the relevant entries we
don't need to handle these specially.
