x86/speculation/l1tf: Extend 64bit swap file size limit
The previous patch has limited swap file size so that large offsets cannot clear bits above MAX_PA/2 in the pte and interfere with L1TF mitigation. It assumed that offsets are encoded starting with bit 12, same as pfn. But on x86_64, offsets are encoded starting with bit 9. Thus the limit can be raised by 3 bits. That means 16TB with 42bit MAX_PA and 256TB with 46bit MAX_PA.
