Subject: [PATCH 4.14 010/146] x86/mm/pti: Allow NX poison to be set in p4d/pgd

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

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

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

commit 1c4de1ff4fe50453b968579ee86fac3da80dd783 upstream.

With PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION the user portion of the kernel page tables is
poisoned with the NX bit so if the entry code exits with the kernel page
tables selected in CR3, userspace crashes.

But doing so trips the p4d/pgd_bad() checks.  Make sure it does not do
that.
