arm64: mm: move pgd_cache initialisation to pgtable_cache_init

Browse Source 
Initialising the suppport for EFI runtime services requires us to
allocate a pgd off the back of an early_initcall. On systems where the
PGD_SIZE is smaller than PAGE_SIZE (e.g. 64k pages and 48-bit VA), the
pgd_cache isn't initialised at this stage, and we panic with a NULL
dereference during boot:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000

This patch fixes the problem by initialising the pgd_cache earlier, in
the pgtable_cache_init callback, which sounds suspiciously like what it
was intended for.
