[PATCH 16/22] efi: mark efi_mm as a kernel mm

[Kevin Brodsky]

efi_mm is a kernel-owned address space used for EFI runtime
mappings, but it is currently treated like a user address space when
manipulating its page tables. There does not seem to be a good
reason for this, and it creates unnecessary complications when
creating its page tables.

Mark it with the new MMF_KERNEL flag so that the page table handling
treats it like init_mm. In particular, this means that:

* Split page table locks are no longer initialised or used for
  efi_mm's page tables.

* pagetable_*_ctor() and pagetable_dtor() no longer need to be
  called for efi_mm's page tables.
