commit b5b7dd647f2d21b93f734ce890671cd908e69b0a upstream.

We inspect __kpti_forced early on as part of the cpufeature enable
callback which remaps the swapper page table using non-global entries.

Ensure that __kpti_forced has been updated to reflect the kpti=
command-line option before we start using it.

Fixes: ea1e3de85e94 ("arm64: entry: Add fake CPU feature for unmapping the kernel at EL0")
