x86/boot: Provide __pti_set_user_pgtbl() to startup code

The SME encryption startup code populates page tables using the ordinary
set_pXX() helpers, and in a PTI build, these will call out to
__pti_set_user_pgtbl() to manipulate the shadow copy of the page tables
for user space.

This is unneeded for the startup code, which only manipulates the
swapper page tables, and so this call could be avoided in this
particular case. So instead of exposing the ordinary
__pti_set_user_pgtblt() to the startup code after its gets confined into
its own symbol space, provide an alternative which just returns pgd,
which is always correct in the startup context.

Annotate it as __weak for now, this will be dropped in a subsequent
patch.
