arm64/arm: xen: enlighten: Fix KPTI checks
When KPTI is in use, we cannot register a runstate region as XEN requires that this is always a valid VA, which we cannot guarantee. Due to this, xen_starting_cpu() must avoid registering each CPU's runstate region, and xen_guest_init() must avoid setting up features that depend upon it. We tried to ensure that in commit: f88af7229f6f22ce (" xen/arm: do not setup the runstate info page if kpti is enabled") ... where we added checks for xen_kernel_unmapped_at_usr(), which wraps arm64_kernel_unmapped_at_el0() on arm64 and is always false on 32-bit arm. Unfortunately, as xen_guest_init() is an early_initcall, this happens before secondary CPUs are booted and arm64 has finalized the ARM64_UNMAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0 cpucap which backs arm64_kernel_unmapped_at_el0(), and so this can subsequently be set as secondary CPUs are onlined. On a big.LITTLE system where the boot CPU does not require KPTI but some secondary CPUs do, this will result in xen_guest_init() intializing features that depend on the runstate region, and xen_starting_cpu() registering the runstate region on some CPUs before KPTI is subsequent enabled, resulting the the problems the aforementioned commit tried to avoid. Handle this more robsutly by deferring the initialization of the runstate region until secondary CPUs have been initialized and the ARM64_UNMAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0 cpucap has been finalized. The per-cpu work is moved into a new hotplug starting function which is registered later when we're certain that KPTI will not be used.
