s390/kdump: remove nodat stack restriction for calling nodat functions

To allow calling of DAT-off code from kernel the stack needs
to be switched to nodat_stack (or other stack mapped as 1:1).

Before call_nodat() macro was introduced that was necessary
to provide the very same memory address for STNSM and STOSM
instructions. If the kernel would stay on a random stack
(e.g. a virtually mapped one) then a virtual address provided
for STNSM instruction could differ from the physical address
needed for the corresponding STOSM instruction.

After call_nodat() macro is introduced the kernel stack does
not need to be mapped 1:1 anymore, since the macro stores the
physical memory address of return PSW in a register before
entering DAT-off mode. This way the return LPSWE instruction
is able to pick the correct memory location and restore the
DAT-on mode. That however might fail in case the 16-byte return
PSW happened to cross page boundary: PSW mask and PSW address
could end up in two separate non-contiguous physical pages.

Align the return PSW on 16-byte boundary so it always fits
into a single physical page. As result any stack (including
the virtually mapped one) could be used for calling DAT-off
code and prior switching to nodat_stack becomes unnecessary.
