x86/init: Clear 'init_level4_pgt' earlier
Currently x86_64_start_kernel() has two KASAN related function calls. The first call maps shadow to early_level4_pgt, the second maps shadow to init_level4_pgt. If we move clear_page(init_level4_pgt) earlier, we could hide KASAN low level detail from generic x86_64 initialization code. The next patch will do it.
