      RISC-V: Fix FIXMAP area corruption on RV32 systems · a256f2e3

      Currently, various virtual memory areas of Linux RISC-V are organized
      in increasing order of their virtual addresses is as follows:
      1. User space area (This is lowest area and starts at 0x0)
      2. FIXMAP area
      3. VMALLOC area
      4. Kernel area (This is highest area and starts at PAGE_OFFSET)
      
      The maximum size of user space aread is represented by TASK_SIZE.
      
      On RV32 systems, TASK_SIZE is defined as VMALLOC_START which causes the
      user space area to overlap the FIXMAP area. This allows user space apps
      to potentially corrupt the FIXMAP area and kernel OF APIs will crash
      whenever they access corrupted FDT in the FIXMAP area.
      
      On RV64 systems, TASK_SIZE is set to fixed 256GB and no other areas
      happen to overlap so we don't see any FIXMAP area corruptions.
      
      This patch fixes FIXMAP area corruption on RV32 systems by setting
      TASK_SIZE to FIXADDR_START. We also move FIXADDR_TOP, FIXADDR_SIZE,
      and FIXADDR_START defines to asm/pgtable.h so that we can avoid cyclic
      header includes.
