Subject: x86/tboot: Unbreak tboot with PTI enabled

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

commit 262b6b30087246abf09d6275eb0c0dc421bcbe38 upstream.

This is another case similar to what EFI does: create a new set of
page tables, map some code at a low address, and jump to it.  PTI
mistakes this low address for userspace and mistakenly marks it
non-executable in an effort to make it unusable for userspace.

Undo the poison to allow execution.
