Subject: [PATCH 30/39] x86/mm/pti: Clone entry-text again in pti_finalize()

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@...e.de>

The mapping for entry-text might have changed in the kernel
after it was cloned to the user page-table. Clone again
to update the user page-table to bring the mapping in sync
with the kernel again.
