[PATCH] efi/arm: Disable LPAE PAN when calling EFI runtime services

[Ard Biesheuvel <ardb+git@google.com>]

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

EFI runtime services are remapped into the lower 1 GiB of virtual
address space at boot, so they are guaranteed to be able to co-exist
with the kernel virtual mappings without the need to allocate space for
them in the kernel's vmalloc region, which is rather small.

This means those mappings are covered by TTBR0 when LPAE PAN is enabled,
and so 'user' access must be enabled while such calls are in progress.

To avoid the need to refactor the code that is shared between ARM, arm64
and other EFI architectures, fold this into efi_set_pgd(). Given that
EFI runtime services are serialized and not pre-emptible, storing the
flags into a global variable is reasonable here - efi_set_pgd() calls
will always occur in pairs on a single CPU.
