Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] Don't sleep in split_kernel_leaf_mapping() when in atomic context

Hi Will,

This is v2 of the fix for split_kernel_leaf_mapping(). I've expanded it into 3
patches based on feedback from v1 [1].

Once happy with the content, patch 1 is needed urgently for next -rc to fix
regression since 6.18-rc1. The other patches could wait until 6.19, but I'd
prefer they all go together into 6.18.

Changes since v1 [1]
====================

Patch 1: The fix
  - Removed arch_kfence_init_pool() declaration for !KFENCE case (per Will)
  - Removed lazy mode mmu optimization (now separate patch) (per Will)
  - Simplified arch_kfence_init_pool() return expression (per Will)
  - Added comment about not needing tlbi
  - Generalized comment softirq -> atomic (per Yang Shi)
Patch 2: lazy mode mmu optimization (per Will)
Patch 3: force_pte_mapping() tidy ups (per David)
