s390/mm: Pin identity mapping base to zero

Browse Source 
SIE instruction performs faster when the virtual address of
SIE block matches the physical one. Pin the identity mapping
base to zero for the benefit of SIE and other instructions
that have similar performance impact. Still, randomize the
base when DEBUG_VM kernel configuration option is enabled.

help
The identity mapping base address is pinned to zero by default.
Allow randomization of that base to expose otherwise missed
notion of physical and virtual addresses of data structures.
That does not have any impact on the base address at which the
kernel image is loaded.
