[PATCH v3 11/13] arm64: mm: Don't abuse memblock NOMAP to check for overlaps

[Ard Biesheuvel <ardb+git@google.com>]

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

Now that the DRAM mapping routines respect existing table mappings and
contiguous block and page mappings, it is no longer needed to fiddle
with the memblock tables to set and clear the NOMAP attribute. Instead,
map the kernel text and rodata alias first, so that they will not be
added later when mapping the memblocks.
