x86/mm: Enable KASLR for physical mapping memory regions

Add the physical mapping in the list of randomized memory regions.

The physical memory mapping holds most allocations from boot and heap
allocators. Knowing the base address and physical memory size, an attacker
can deduce the PDE virtual address for the vDSO memory page. This attack
was demonstrated at CanSecWest 2016, in the following presentation:

  "Getting Physical: Extreme Abuse of Intel Based Paged Systems":
  https://github.com/n3k/CansecWest2016_Getting_Physical_Extreme_Abuse_of_Intel_Based_Paging_Systems/blob/master/Presentation/CanSec2016_Presentation.pdf

(See second part of the presentation).

The exploits used against Linux worked successfully against 4.6+ but
fail with KASLR memory enabled:

Similar research was done at Google leading to this patch proposal.

Variants exists to overwrite /proc or /sys objects ACLs leading to
elevation of privileges. These variants were tested against 4.6+.

The page offset used by the compressed kernel retains the static value
since it is not yet randomized during this boot stage.
