x86/mm/pti: Introduce pti_finalize() Introduce a new function to finalize the kernel mappings for the userspace page-table after all ro/nx protections have been applied to the kernel mappings. Also move the call to pti_clone_kernel_text() to that function so that it will run on 32 bit kernels too.

x86/pti: Leave kernel text global for !PCID Global pages are bad for hardening because they potentially let an exploit read the kernel image via a Meltdown-style attack which makes it easier to find gadgets. But, global pages are good for performance because they reduce TLB misses when making user/kernel transitions, especially when PCIDs are not available, such as on older hardware, or where a hypervisor has disabled them for some reason. This patch implements a basic, sane policy: If you have PCIDs, you only map a minimal amount of kernel text global. If you do not have PCIDs, you map all kernel text global. This policy effectively makes PCIDs something that not only adds performance but a little bit of hardening as well. I ran a simple "lseek" microbenchmark[1] to test the benefit on a modern Atom microserver. Most of the benefit comes from applying the series before this patch ("entry only"), but there is still a signifiant benefit from this patch.
