This patch still breaks the late-init capabilities that Kefeng pointed out.

I think the only viable option is:

 1. If KFENCE early init is requested on arm64, do what you're doing here.

 2. If KFENCE is compiled in, but not enabled, do what was done
before, so it can be enabled late.

Am I missing an option?
