Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/32s: Fix boot failure with KASAN + SMP + JUMP_LABEL_FEATURE_CHECK_DEBUG

Since commit 4291d085b0b0 ("powerpc/32s: Make pte_update() non
atomic on 603 core"), pte_update() has been using
mmu_has_feature(MMU_FTR_HPTE_TABLE) to avoid a useless atomic
operation on 603 cores.

When kasan_early_init() sets up the early zero shadow, it uses
__set_pte_at(). On book3s/32, __set_pte_at() calls pte_update()
when CONFIG_SMP is selected in order to ensure the preservation of
_PAGE_HASHPTE in case of concurrent update of the PTE. But that's
too early for mmu_has_feature(), so when
CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL_FEATURE_CHECK_DEBUG is selected, mmu_has_feature()
calls printk(). That's too early to call printk() because KASAN
early zero shadow page is not set up yet. It leads to a deadlock.

However, when kasan_early_init() is called, there is only one CPU
running and no risk of concurrent PTE update. So __set_pte_at() can
be called with the 'percpu' flag. With that flag set, the PTE is
written directly instead of being written via pte_update().
