From: Jiri Kosina <jkos...@suse.cz>
old_memmap's efi_call_phys_prolog() calls set_pgd() with swapper PGD that
has PAGE_USER set, which makes PTI set NX on it, and therefore EFI can't
execute it's code.
Fix that by forcefully clearing _PAGE_NX from the PGD (this can't be done
by the pgprot API).
_PAGE_NX will be automatically reintroduced in efi_call_phys_epilog(), as
_set_pgd() will again notice that this is _PAGE_USER, and set _PAGE_NX on
it.
