x86/mm/pageattr: Introduce helper function to unmap EFI boot services
Ideally, after kernel assumes control of the platform, firmware
shouldn't access EFI boot services code/data regions. But, it's noticed
that this is not so true in many x86 platforms. Hence, during boot,
kernel reserves EFI boot services code/data regions [1] and maps [2]
them to efi_pgd so that call to set_virtual_address_map() doesn't fail.
After returning from set_virtual_address_map(), kernel frees the
reserved regions [3] but they still remain mapped. Hence, introduce
kernel_unmap_pages_in_pgd() which will later be used to unmap EFI boot
services code/data regions.
While at it modify kernel_map_pages_in_pgd() by
1. Adding __init modifier because it's always used *only* during boot.
2. Add a warning if it's used after SMP is initialized because it uses
__flush_tlb_all() which flushes mappings only on current CPU.
Unmapping EFI boot services code/data regions will result in clearing
PAGE_PRESENT bit and it shouldn't bother L1TF cases because it's already
handled by protnone_mask() at arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable-invert.h.
[1] efi_reserve_boot_services()
[2] efi_map_region() -> __map_region() -> kernel_map_pages_in_pgd()
[3] efi_free_boot_services()
