arm64/mm: Define PTDESC_ORDER



Address bytes shifted with a single 64 bit page table entry (any page table
level) has been always hard coded as 3 (aka 2^3 = 8). Although intuitive it
is not very readable or easy to reason about. Besides it is going to change
with D128, where each 128 bit page table entry will shift address bytes by
4 (aka 2^4 = 16) instead.

Let's just formalise this address bytes shift value into a new macro called
PTDESC_ORDER establishing a logical abstraction, thus improving readability
as well. While here re-organize EARLY_LEVEL macro along with its dependents
for better clarity. This does not cause any functional change. Also replace
all (PAGE_SHIFT - PTDESC_ORDER) instances with PTDESC_TABLE_SHIFT.
