Catalin Marinas 39bc88e5e3 arm64: Disable TTBR0_EL1 during normal kernel execution
When the TTBR0 PAN feature is enabled, the kernel entry points need to
disable access to TTBR0_EL1. The PAN status of the interrupted context
is stored as part of the saved pstate, reusing the PSR_PAN_BIT (22).
Restoring access to TTBR0_EL1 is done on exception return if returning
to user or returning to a context where PAN was disabled.

Context switching via switch_mm() must defer the update of TTBR0_EL1
until a return to user or an explicit uaccess_enable() call.

Special care needs to be taken for two cases where TTBR0_EL1 is set
outside the normal kernel context switch operation: EFI run-time
services (via efi_set_pgd) and CPU suspend (via cpu_(un)install_idmap).
Code has been added to avoid deferred TTBR0_EL1 switching as in
switch_mm() and restore the reserved TTBR0_EL1 when uninstalling the
special TTBR0_EL1.

User cache maintenance (user_cache_maint_handler and
__flush_cache_user_range) needs the TTBR0_EL1 re-instated since the
operations are performed by user virtual address.

This patch also removes a stale comment on the switch_mm() function.
