mm: add utility for early copy from unmapped ram

When booting an arm64 kernel w/initrd using UEFI/grub, use of mem= will
likely cut off part or all of the initrd.  This leaves it outside the
kernel linear map which leads to failure when unpacking.  The x86 code
has a similar need to relocate an initrd outside of mapped memory in
some cases.

The current x86 code uses early_memremap() to copy the original initrd
from unmapped to mapped RAM.  This patchset creates a generic
copy_from_early_mem() utility based on that x86 code and has arm64 and
x86 share it in their respective initrd relocation code.

This patch (of 3):

In some early boot circumstances, it may be necessary to copy from RAM
outside the kernel linear mapping to mapped RAM.  The need to relocate
an initrd is one example in the x86 code.  This patch creates a helper
function based on current x86 code.
