x86/mm: Fix PTI for i386 some more

So it turns out that we have to do two passes of
pti_clone_entry_text(), once before initcalls, such that device and
late initcalls can use user-mode-helper / modprobe and once after
free_initmem() / mark_readonly().

Now obviously mark_readonly() can cause PMD splits, and
pti_clone_pgtable() doesn't like that much.

Allow the late clone to split PMDs so that pagetables stay in sync.
