x86/pti: Never implicitly clear _PAGE_GLOBAL for kernel image

Summary:

In current kernels, with PTI enabled, no pages are marked Global. This
potentially increases TLB misses.  But, the mechanism by which the Global
bit is set and cleared is rather haphazard.  This patch makes the process
more explicit.  In the end, it leaves us with Global entries in the page
tables for the areas truly shared by userspace and kernel and increases
TLB hit rates.

The place this patch really shines in on systems without PCIDs.  In this
case, we are using an lseek microbenchmark[1] to see how a reasonably
non-trivial syscall behaves.  Higher is better:

  No Global pages (baseline): 6077741 lseeks/sec
  88 Global Pages (this set): 7528609 lseeks/sec (+23.9%)

On a modern Skylake desktop with PCIDs, the benefits are tangible, but not
huge for a kernel compile (lower is better):

  No Global pages (baseline): 186.951 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  0.35% )
  28 Global pages (this set): 185.756 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  0.09% )
                               -1.195 seconds (-0.64%)

I also re-checked everything using the lseek1 test[1]:

  No Global pages (baseline): 15783951 lseeks/sec
  28 Global pages (this set): 16054688 lseeks/sec
			     +270737 lseeks/sec (+1.71%)

The effect is more visible, but still modest.

Details:

The kernel page tables are inherited from head_64.S which rudely marks
them as _PAGE_GLOBAL.  For PTI, we have been relying on the grace of
$DEITY and some insane behavior in pageattr.c to clear _PAGE_GLOBAL.
This patch tries to do better.

First, stop filtering out "unsupported" bits from being cleared in the
pageattr code.  It's fine to filter out *setting* these bits but it
is insane to keep us from clearing them.

Then, *explicitly* go clear _PAGE_GLOBAL from the kernel identity map.
Do not rely on pageattr to do it magically.

After this patch, we can see that "GLB" shows up in each copy of the
page tables, that we have the same number of global entries in each
and that they are the *same* entries.

  /sys/kernel/debug/page_tables/current_kernel:11
  /sys/kernel/debug/page_tables/current_user:11
  /sys/kernel/debug/page_tables/kernel:11

  9caae8ad6a1fb53aca2407ec037f612d  current_kernel.GLB
  9caae8ad6a1fb53aca2407ec037f612d  current_user.GLB
  9caae8ad6a1fb53aca2407ec037f612d  kernel.GLB

A quick visual audit also shows that all the entries make sense.
0xfffffe0000000000 is the cpu_entry_area and 0xffffffff81c00000
is the entry/exit text:

  0xfffffe0000000000-0xfffffe0000002000           8K     ro                 GLB NX pte
