[PATCH 4.14 022/222] x86/mm/pat: Disable preemption around __flush_tlb_all()

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

commit f77084d96355f5fba8e2c1fb3a51a393b1570de7 upstream.

The WARN_ON_ONCE(__read_cr3() != build_cr3()) in switch_mm_irqs_off()
triggers every once in a while during a snapshotted system upgrade.

The warning triggers since commit decab0888e6e ("x86/mm: Remove
preempt_disable/enable() from __native_flush_tlb()"). The callchain is:

get_page_from_freelist() -> post_alloc_hook() -> __kernel_map_pages()

with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC enabled.

Disable preemption during CR3 reset / __flush_tlb_all() and add a comment
why preemption has to be disabled so it won't be removed accidentaly.

Add another preemptible() check in __flush_tlb_all() to catch callers with
enabled preemption when PGE is enabled, because PGE enabled does not
trigger the warning in __native_flush_tlb(). Suggested by Andy Lutomirski.

Fixes: decab0888e6e ("x86/mm: Remove preempt_disable/enable() from __native_flush_tlb()")
