The current __kpti_install_ng_mappings() allocates a temporary PGD
while installing the NG mapping for KPTI under stop_machine(),
using GFP_ATOMIC.

This is fine in the non-PREEMPT_RT case. However, it becomes a problem
under PREEMPT_RT because generic memory allocation/free APIs
(e.g., pgtable_alloc(), __get_free_pages(), etc.) cannot be invoked
in a non-preemptible context, except for the *_nolock() variants.
These generic allocators may sleep due to their use of spin_lock().

In other words, calling __get_free_pages(), even with GFP_ATOMIC,
is not allowed in __kpti_install_ng_mappings(), which is executed by
the stopper thread where preemption is disabled under PREEMPT_RT.

To address this, preallocate the page needed for the temporary PGD
before invoking __kpti_install_ng_mappings() via stop_machine().
