4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel at linaro.org>

Stable backport commit 173358a49173 ("arm64: kpti: Add ->enable callback
to remap swapper using nG mappings") of upstream commit f992b4dfd58b did
not survive the backporting process unscathed, and ends up writing garbage
into the TTBR1_EL1 register, rather than pointing it to the zero page to
disable translations. Fix that.
