[PATCH] arm64: kpti: Use early_param for kpti= command-line option

From: Will Deacon <hidden>
Date: 2018-06-20 15:23:47
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Linus Torvalds

We inspect __kpti_forced early on as part of the cpufeature enable
callback which remaps the swapper page table using non-global entries.

Ensure that __kpti_forced has been updated to reflect the kpti=
command-line option before we start using it.
