Subject: [PATCH 4.17 49/67] xen: remove global bit from __default_kernel_pte_mask for pv guests

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

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

From: Juergen Gross <jgross@...e.com>

commit e69b5d308da72cbf4e7911c3979f9a46d28532af upstream.

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().
