Reduce 22 declarations of empty_zero_page to 3 and 23 declarations of
ZERO_PAGE() to 4.

Every architecture defines empty_zero_page that way or another, but for the
most of them it is always a page aligned page in BSS and most definitions
of ZERO_PAGE do virt_to_page(empty_zero_page).

Move Linus vetted x86 definition of empty_zero_page and ZERO_PAGE() to the
core MM and drop these definitions in architectures that do not implement
colored zero page (MIPS and s390).

ZERO_PAGE() remains a macro because turning it to a wrapper for a static
inline causes severe pain in header dependencies.

For the most part the change is mechanical, with these being noteworthy:

* alpha: aliased empty_zero_page with ZERO_PGE that was also used for boot
  parameters. Switching to a generic empty_zero_page removes the aliasing
  and keeps ZERO_PGE for boot parameters only
* arm64: uses __pa_symbol() in ZERO_PAGE() so that definition of
  ZERO_PAGE() is kept intact.
* m68k/parisc/um: allocated empty_zero_page from memblock,
  although they do not support zero page coloring and having it in BSS
  will work fine.
* sparc64 can have empty_zero_page in BSS rather allocate it, but it
  can't use virt_to_page() for BSS. Keep it's definition of ZERO_PAGE()
  but instead of allocating it, make mem_map_zero point to
  empty_zero_page.
* sh: used empty_zero_page for boot parameters at the very early boot.
  Rename the parameters page to boot_params_page and let sh use the generic
  empty_zero_page.
* hexagon: had an amusing comment about empty_zero_page

	/* A handy thing to have if one has the RAM. Declared in head.S */

  that unfortunately had to go :)

This configuration is obsolete and likely none is really using it. That's
why remove it to simplify code.

Note about CONFIG_MMU in hw_exception_handler.S is left intentionally
for better comment understanding.

The kernel needs to setup the first two tlbs with pad
which is used for early page allocation which is used
by mapin_ram() to allocate tables for lowmem memory
before memory initialisation is done.
Calculate pad directly from lowmem size.
