Subject: x86/mm: Avoid using set_pgd() outside of real PGD pages

From: Lee Jones <lee@kernel.org>

commit d082d48737c75d2b3cc1f972b8c8674c25131534 upstream.

KPTI keeps around two PGDs: one for userspace and another for the
kernel. Among other things, set_pgd() contains infrastructure to
ensure that updates to the kernel PGD are reflected in the user PGD
as well.

One side-effect of this is that set_pgd() expects to be passed whole
pages.  Unfortunately, init_trampoline_kaslr() passes in a single entry:
'trampoline_pgd_entry'.

When KPTI is on, set_pgd() will update 'trampoline_pgd_entry' (an
8-Byte globally stored [.bss] variable) and will then proceed to
replicate that value into the non-existent neighboring user page
(located +4k away), leading to the corruption of other global [.bss]
stored variables.

Fix it by directly assigning 'trampoline_pgd_entry' and avoiding
set_pgd().
