The early virtual address should lie in the kernel address space for
inline kasan instrumentation to succeed, otherwise kasan tries to
dereference an address that does not exist in the address space (since
kasan only maps *kernel* address space, not the userspace).

Simply use the very first address of the kernel address space for the
early fdt mapping.

It allowed an Ubuntu kernel to boot successfully with inline
instrumentation.

Been poking around in this area the last few days trying to hunt down
some bugs... Things look functionally the same w/ this patch and we do
get rid of the odd looking pointer which is nice.
Reviewed-by: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com>

Probably would've made the cause of 50e63dd8ed92 ("riscv: fix reserved
memory setup") more difficult to find so glad I got that out of the way
well before this patch!

Thanks,
Conor.
