riscv: force PAGE_SIZE linear mapping if debug_pagealloc is enabled
debug_pagealloc is a debug feature which clears the valid bit in page table entry for freed pages to detect illegal accesses to freed memory. For this feature to work, virtual mapping must have PAGE_SIZE resolution. (No, we cannot map with huge pages and split them only when needed; because pages can be allocated/freed in atomic context and page splitting cannot be done in atomic context) Force linear mapping to use small pages if debug_pagealloc is enabled. Note that it is not necessary to force the entire linear mapping, but only those that are given to memory allocator. Some parts of memory can keep using huge page mapping (for example, kernel's executable code). But these parts are minority, so keep it simple. This is just a debug feature, some extra overhead should be acceptable.
