x86/kexec: Allocate PGD for x86_64 transition page tables separately
[ Upstream commit 4b5bc2ec9a239bce261ffeafdd63571134102323 ] Now that the following fix: d0ceea662d45 ("x86/mm: Add _PAGE_NOPTISHADOW bit to avoid updating userspace page tables") stops kernel_ident_mapping_init() from scribbling over the end of a 4KiB PGD by assuming the following 4KiB will be a userspace PGD, there's no good reason for the kexec PGD to be part of a single 8KiB allocation with the control_code_page. ( It's not clear that that was the reason for x86_64 kexec doing it that way in the first place either; there were no comments to that effect and it seems to have been the case even before PTI came along. It looks like it was just a happy accident which prevented memory corruption on kexec. ) Either way, it definitely isn't needed now. Just allocate the PGD separately on x86_64, like i386 already does.
