Re: [PATCH 2/4] powerpc/64: Setup KUP before feature fixups

The subsequent implementation of KUAP for radix makes use of a MMU
feature in order to patch out assembly when KUAP is disabled or
unsupported.  This won't work unless there's an entry point for
KUP support before the feature magic happens, so relocate
setup_kup() earlier in setup.

I squashed it in my RFC v2
