x86/tboot: Unbreak tboot with PTI enabled

This is another case similar to what EFI does: create a new set of
page tables, map some code at a low address, and jump to it.  PTI
mistakes this low address for userspace and mistakenly marks it
non-executable in an effort to make it unusable for userspace.

Undo the poison to allow execution.
