csdlock_debug uses early_param and static_branch_enable() to enable csd_lock_wait feature, which triggers a panic on arm64 with config: CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=n With CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=n, __nr_to_section is called in static_key_enable() and returns NULL which makes NULL dereference because mem_section is initialized in sparse_init() which is later than parse_early_param() stage. For powerpc this is also broken, because early_param stage is earlier than jump_label_init() so static_key_enable won't work. powerpc throws an warning: "static key 'xxx' used before call to jump_label_init()". Thus, early_param is too early for csd_lock_wait to run static_branch_enable(), so changes it to __setup to fix these.

Ping for review. Thanks!
