Just figured out the kernel crash when taking jump_label_init() earlier
into setup_arch(), the tsc_init() will enable static_key __use_tsc
static_key_enable
__jump_label_update
arch_jump_label_transform
__jump_label_transform
text_poke_bp
text_poke
text_poke() will involve page , but paging is not initialized so
early yet, so it triggers a panic.
Beside this __use_tsc, the sched_clock also has one static key
__sched_clock_stable
