[PATCH v2] efi/arm: Disable LPAE PAN when calling EFI runtime services

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb at kernel.org>

EFI runtime services are remapped into the lower 1 GiB of virtual
address space at boot, so they are guaranteed to be able to co-exist
with the kernel virtual mappings without the need to allocate space for
them in the kernel's vmalloc region, which is rather small.

This means those mappings are covered by TTBR0 when LPAE PAN is enabled,
and so 'user' access must be enabled while such calls are in progress.

In the end, I found a cleaner way to incorporate this into the existing
plumbing, without the need to rely on a global variable to stash the
TTBCR value.
