x86/mm/pti: Keep permissions when cloning kernel text in pti_clone_kernel_text()
Mapping the kernel text area to user-space makes only sense if it has the
same permissions as in the kernel page-table. If permissions are different
this will cause a TLB reload when using the kernel page-table, which is as
good as not mapping it at all.
On 64-bit kernels this patch makes no difference, as the whole range cloned
by pti_clone_kernel_text() is mapped RO anyway. On 32 bit there are
writeable mappings in the range, so just keep the permissions as they are.
