arm64: align randomized TEXT_OFFSET on 4 kB boundary
When booting via UEFI, the kernel Image is loaded at a 4 kB boundary and the embedded EFI stub is executed in place. The EFI stub relocates the Image to reside TEXT_OFFSET bytes above a 2 MB boundary, and jumps into the kernel proper. In AArch64, PC relative symbol references are emitted using adrp/add or adrp/ldr pairs, where the offset into a 4 kB page is resolved using a separate :lo12: relocation. This implicitly assumes that the code will always be executed at the same relative offset with respect to a 4 kB boundary, or the references will point to the wrong address. This means we should link the kernel at a 4 kB aligned base address in order to remain compatible with the base address the UEFI loader uses when doing the initial load of Image. So update the code that generates TEXT_OFFSET to choose a multiple of 4 kB. At the same time, update the code so it chooses from the interval [0..2MB) as the author originally intended.
