x86/mm: Optimize boot-time paging mode switching cost

By this point we have functioning boot-time switching between 4- and
5-level paging mode. But naive approach comes with cost.

Numbers below are for kernel build, allmodconfig, 5 times.

CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=n:

The patch tries to fix the performance regression by using
cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE_LA57) instead of pgtable_l5_enabled in
all hot code paths. These will statically patch the target code for
additional performance.

CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y + the patch:

Unfortunately, this approach doesn't help with text size:

  vmlinux.before .text size:	8190319
  vmlinux.after .text size:	8200623

The .text section is increased by about 4k. Not sure if we can do anything
about this.
