From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

The kernel image starts out with the Global bit set across the entire
kernel image.  The bit is cleared with set_memory_nonglobal() in the
configurations with PCIDs where we do not need the performance
benefits of the Global bit.

However, this is fragile.  It means that we are stuck opting *out* of
the less-secure (Global bit set) configuration, which seems backwards.
Let's start more secure (Global bit clear) and then let things opt
back in if they want performance, or are truly mapping common data
between kernel and userspace.

This fixes a bug.  Before this patch, there are areas that are
unmapped from the user page tables (like like everything above
0xffffffff82600000 in the example below).  These have the hallmark of
being a wrong Global area: they are no identical in the
'current_kernel' and 'current_user' page table dumps.  They are also
read-write, which means they're much more likely to contain secrets.

Before this patch:
