arm64: mm: Defer remap of linear alias of data/bss

Browse Source 
Marking the linear alias of data/bss invalid involves calling
set_memory_valid(), which calls split_kernel_leaf_mapping() under the
hood.

On BBML2_NOABORT capable systems, this may result in the need to
allocate page tables at a time when the generic memory allocation APIs
are not yet available, resulting in a splat like

as reported by CKI automated testing.

So defer the boot-time call to mark_linear_data_alias_valid() to a later
time when page allocations can be made normally.
