__create_pgd_mapping_locked() expects a page allocator used while mapping a
virtual range. This page allocator function propagates down the call chain,
while building intermediate levels in the page table. Passed page allocator
is a necessary ingredient required to build the page table but its presence
can be asserted just once in the very beginning rather than in all the down
stream functions. This consolidates BUG_ON(!pgtable_alloc) checks just in a
single place i.e __create_pgd_mapping_locked().

LKFT detected arm64 boot regression on today's Linux next-20221121 tag.
The Kernel boot log did not show anything on the serial console.

Anders bisected this problem and found the subject commit is the
first bad commit.

        arm64/mm: Drop redundant BUG_ON(!pgtable_alloc)

Later it was found this lore link which was already reported [1].
