mm/early_ioremap: clarify early_ioremap_reset() semantics

Patch series "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up
early_ioremap_reset()".

__late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() are only used after
early_ioremap_reset() has been called, but the comment above them does not
say anything about that.  So arm64, riscv and powerpc, whose
__set_fixmap() works before and after paging_init(), describe the same
situation in three different ways:

                 calls reset    defines the macros
        arm64    yes            yes
        riscv    no             yes
        powerpc  no             no

Patch 1 documents when early_ioremap_reset() needs to be called and that
only architectures calling it need to define the macros.

Patches 2 and 3 remove the unneeded riscv macros, which are unreachable,
and the arm64 reset call and macros, which change nothing.

No functional change.


This patch (of 3):

__late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() are only used after
early_ioremap_reset() has been called.

arm64, riscv and powerpc all have a __set_fixmap() that works before and
after paging_init(), so they do not need to call early_ioremap_reset() or
define the macros, but they describe the same situation in three different
ways:

                 calls reset    defines the macros
        arm64    yes            yes
        riscv    no             yes
        powerpc  no             no

The existing comment is vague and allows all three.  Replace it with
comments that make it clear when the reset and the macros are needed.

No functional change.
