x86: zap invalid and unused pmds in early boot

Browse source 
The early boot code maps KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE (currently 40MB) starting
from __START_KERNEL_map. The kernel itself only needs _text to _end
mapped in the high alias. On relocatible kernels the ASM setup code
adjusts the compile time created high mappings to the relocation. This
creates invalid pmd entries for negative offsets:

0xffffffff80000000 -> pmd entry: ffffffffff2001e3
It points outside of the physical address space and is marked present.

This starts at the virtual address __START_KERNEL_map and goes up to
the point where the first valid physical address (0x0) is mapped.

Zap the mappings before _text and after _end right away in early
boot. This removes also the invalid entries.

Furthermore it simplifies the range check for high aliases.
