efi/earlycon: Remap entire framebuffer after page initialization
When commit: 69c1f39 ("efi/x86: Convert x86 EFI earlyprintk into generic earlycon implementation") moved the x86 specific EFI earlyprintk implementation to a shared location, it also tweaked the behaviour. In particular, it dropped a trick with full framebuffer remapping after page initialization, leading to two regressions: 1) very slow scrolling after page initialization, 2) kernel hang when the 'keep_bootcon' command line argument is passed. Putting the tweak back fixes #2 and mitigates #1, i.e., it limits the slow behavior to the early boot stages, presumably due to eliminating heavy map()/unmap() operations per each pixel line on the screen.
