ARM: idmap: use idmap_pgd when setting up mm for reboot

Browse Source 
For soft-rebooting a system, it is necessary to map the MMU-off code
with an identity mapping so that execution can continue safely once the
MMU has been switched off.

Currently, switch_mm_for_reboot takes out a 1:1 mapping from 0x0 to
TASK_SIZE during reboot in the hope that the reset code lives at a
physical address corresponding to a userspace virtual address.

This patch modifies the code so that we switch to the idmap_pgd tables,
which contain a 1:1 mapping of the cpu_reset code. This has the
advantage of only remapping the code that we need and also means we
don't need to worry about allocating a pgd from an atomic context in the
case that the physical address of the cpu_reset code aliases with the
virtual space used by the kernel.
