x86/speculation/l1tf: Limit swap file size to MAX_PA/2
For the L1TF workaround its necessary to limit the swap file size to below MAX_PA/2, so that the higher bits of the swap offset inverted never point to valid memory. Add a mechanism for the architecture to override the swap file size check in swapfile.c and add a x86 specific max swapfile check function that enforces that limit. The check is only enabled if the CPU is vulnerable to L1TF. In VMs with 42bit MAX_PA the typical limit is 2TB now, on a native system with 46bit PA it is 32TB. The limit is only per individual swap file, so it's always possible to exceed these limits with multiple swap files or partitions.
