[PATCH v6 2/9] x86, kfence: enable KFENCE for x86

From: Alexander Potapenko <glider at google.com>

Add architecture specific implementation details for KFENCE and enable
KFENCE for the x86 architecture. In particular, this implements the
required interface in <asm/kfence.h> for setting up the pool and
providing helper functions for protecting and unprotecting pages.

For x86, we need to ensure that the pool uses 4K pages, which is done
using the set_memory_4k() helper function.

v5:
* MAJOR CHANGE: Switch to the memblock_alloc'd pool. Running benchmarks
  with the newly optimized is_kfence_address(), no difference between
  baseline and KFENCE is observed.
* Suggested by Jann Horn:
  * Move x86 kfence_handle_page_fault before oops handling.
  * WARN_ON in kfence_protect_page if non-4K pages.
  * Better comments for x86 kfence_protect_page.

v4:
* Define __kfence_pool_attrs.
