Dave Hansen 58e65b51e6 x86/pti: Fix boot warning from Global-bit setting
commit 231df823c4f04176f607afc4576c989895cff40e

The pageattr.c code attempts to process "faults" when it goes looking
for PTEs to change and finds non-present entries.  It allows these
faults in the linear map which is "expected to have holes", but
WARN()s about them elsewhere, like when called on the kernel image.

However, change_page_attr_clear() is now called on the kernel image in the
process of trying to clear the Global bit.

This trips the warning in __cpa_process_fault() if a non-present PTE is
encountered in the kernel image.  The "holes" in the kernel image result
from free_init_pages()'s use of set_memory_np().  These holes are totally
fine, and result from normal operation, just as they would be in the kernel
linear map.

Just silence the warning when holes in the kernel image are encountered.

Fixes: 39114b7a7 (x86/pti: Never implicitly clear _PAGE_GLOBAL for kernel image)

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
