[PATCH 6.6 02/86] x86/kfence: fix booting on 32bit non-PAE systems

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

6.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>

commit 16459fe7e0ca6520a6e8f603de4ccd52b90fd765 upstream.

The original patch inverted the PTE unconditionally to avoid
L1TF-vulnerable PTEs, but Linux doesn't make this adjustment in 2-level
paging.

Adjust the logic to use the flip_protnone_guard() helper, which is a nop
on 2-level paging but inverts the address bits in all other paging modes.

This doesn't matter for the Xen aspect of the original change.  Linux no
longer supports running 32bit PV under Xen, and Xen doesn't support
running any 32bit PV guests without using PAE paging.
