FROMLIST: arm64: Disable TTBR0_EL1 during normal kernel execution
When the TTBR0 PAN feature is enabled, the kernel entry points need to disable access to TTBR0_EL1. The PAN status of the interrupted context is stored as part of the saved pstate, reusing the PSR_PAN_BIT (22). Restoring access to TTBR0_PAN is done on exception return if returning to user or returning to a context where PAN was disabled. Context switching via switch_mm() must defer the update of TTBR0_EL1 until a return to user or an explicit uaccess_enable() call. Special care needs to be taken for two cases where TTBR0_EL1 is set outside the normal kernel context switch operation: EFI run-time services (via efi_set_pgd) and CPU suspend (via cpu_(un)install_idmap). Code has been added to avoid deferred TTBR0_EL1 switching as in switch_mm() and restore the reserved TTBR0_EL1 when uninstalling the special TTBR0_EL1. This patch also removes a stale comment on the switch_mm() function.
