Andrew Cooper 917ccf6fd1 x86/kfence: fix booting on 32bit non-PAE systems 
commit 16459fe7e0 upstream.

The original patch inverted the PTE unconditionally to avoid
L1TF-vulnerable PTEs, but Linux doesn't make this adjustment in 2-level
paging.

Adjust the logic to use the flip_protnone_guard() helper, which is a nop
on 2-level paging but inverts the address bits in all other paging modes.

This doesn't matter for the Xen aspect of the original change.  Linux no
longer supports running 32bit PV under Xen, and Xen doesn't support
running any 32bit PV guests without using PAE paging.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
