arm64: mm: Optimize range_split_to_ptes() 



Enter lazy_mmu mode while splitting a range of memory to pte mappings.
This causes barriers, which would otherwise be emitted after every pte
(and pmd/pud) write, to be deferred until exiting lazy_mmu mode.

For large systems, this is expected to significantly speed up fallback
to pte-mapping the linear map for the case where the boot CPU has
BBML2_NOABORT, but secondary CPUs do not. I haven't directly measured
it, but this is equivalent to commit 1fcb7cea ("arm64: mm: Batch dsb
and isb when populating pgtables").

Note that for the path from arch_kfence_init_pool(), we may sleep while
allocating memory inside the lazy_mmu mode. Sleeping is not allowed by
generic code inside lazy_mmu, but we know that the arm64 implementation
is sleep-safe. So this is ok and follows the same pattern already used
by split_kernel_leaf_mapping().
