arm64: Reserve an extra page for early kernel mapping
The final part of [data, end) segment may overflow into the next page of
init_pg_end[1] which is the gap page before early_init_stack[2]:

For 4K pages, the early kernel mapping may use 2MB block entries but the
kernel segments are only 64KB aligned. Segment boundaries that fall
within a 2MB block therefore require a PTE table so that different
attributes can be applied on either side of the boundary.
KERNEL_SEGMENT_COUNT still correctly counts the five permanent kernel
VMAs registered by declare_kernel_vmas(). However, since commit
5973a62efa34 ("arm64: map [_text, _stext) virtual address range
non-executable+read-only"), the early mapper also maps [_text, _stext)
separately from [_stext, _etext). This adds one more early-only split
and can require one more page-table page than the existing
EARLY_SEGMENT_EXTRA_PAGES allowance reserves.
Increase the 4K-page early mapping allowance by one page to cover that
additional split.
