x86/mm/pti: Allow NX poison to be set in p4d/pgd
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
With PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION the user portion of the kernel page tables is
poisoned with the NX bit so if the entry code exits with the kernel page
tables selected in CR3, userspace crashes.

But doing so trips the p4d/pgd_bad() checks.  Make sure it does not do
that.
