arm64: kpti: Add ->enable callback to remap swapper using nG mappings



commit f992b4dfd58b upstream.

Defaulting to global mappings for kernel space is generally good for
performance and appears to be necessary for Cavium ThunderX. If we
subsequently decide that we need to enable kpti, then we need to rewrite
our existing page table entries to be non-global. This is fiddly, and
made worse by the possible use of contiguous mappings, which require
a strict break-before-make sequence.

Since the enable callback runs on each online CPU from stop_machine
context, we can have all CPUs enter the idmap, where secondaries can
wait for the primary CPU to rewrite swapper with its MMU off. It's all
fairly horrible, but at least it only runs once.

Nicolas Dechesne <nicolas.dechesne@linaro.org> found a bug on this commit
which cause boot failure on db410c etc board. Ard Biesheuvel found it
writting wrong contenct to ttbr1_el1 in __idmap_cpu_set_reserved_ttbr1
macro and fixed it by give it the right content.
