[stable:PATCH 2/3] arm64: mm: Set PSTATE.PAN from the cpu_enable_pan() call [v4.4]

commit 7209c868600bd8926e37c10b9aae83124ccc1dd8 upstream.
Commit 338d4f49d6f7 ("arm64: kernel: Add support for Privileged Access
Never") enabled PAN by enabling the 'SPAN' feature-bit in SCTLR_EL1.
This means the PSTATE.PAN bit won't be set until the next return to the
kernel from userspace. On a preemptible kernel we may schedule work that
accesses userspace on a CPU before it has done this.
Now that cpufeature enable() calls are scheduled via stop_machine(), we
can set PSTATE.PAN from the cpu_enable_pan() call.
Add WARN_ON_ONCE(in_interrupt()) to check the PSTATE value we updated
is not immediately discarded.
