Subject: [PATCH] xen: remove global bit from __default_kernel_pte_mask for pv guests

When removing the global bit from __supported_pte_mask do the same for
__default_kernel_pte_mask in order to avoid the WARN_ONCE() in
check_pgprot() when setting a kernel pte before having called
init_mem_mapping().
