In commit 5de59884ac0e ("arm64: trans_pgd: pass NULL instead
of init_mm to *_populate functions"), simply replace init_mm
with NULL for pmd_populate_kernel. But in commit 59511cfd08f3
("arm64: mm: use XN table mapping attributes for user/kernel
mappings"), adding the check of mm context in
pmd_populate_kernel. And these changes will cause a crash when
executing copy_pte/trans_pgd.c, as follows:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops - BUG: Fatal exception
This bug can be reproduced by a user case:
void execute_kexec_load(void)
{
syscall(__NR_mmap, 0x1ffff000ul, 0x1000ul, 0ul, 0x32ul, -1, 0ul);
syscall(__NR_mmap, 0x20000000ul, 0x1000000ul, 7ul, 0x32ul, -1, 0ul);
syscall(__NR_mmap, 0x21000000ul, 0x1000ul, 0ul, 0x32ul, -1, 0ul);
*(uint64_t*)0x200004c0 = 0;
*(uint64_t*)0x200004c8 = 0;
*(uint64_t*)0x200004d0 = 0;
*(uint64_t*)0x200004d8 = 0;
syscall(__NR_kexec_load, 0ul, 1ul, 0x200004c0ul, 0ul);
}
And this patch make a simple change, just restoring init_mm
for 'pmd_populate_kernel' in 'copy_pte'.
