Subject: [PATCH] arm64: assign page_offset with VA_BITS kernel configuration
value
On RHEL9, crash hits a bug when executing "crash /proc/kcore":
seek error: kernel virtual address: ffff6a0f3fff0000 type: "pmd page"
The kernel virtual address does not vary with vabits_actual, instead,
is determined by configuration value. But crash does not observe this
fact.
Since vabits_actual related kernel commit is introduced after arm64
mm layout flip commit, so changes are safe under the condition if
(ms->VA_BITS_ACTUAL), and keep the else branch untouched.
