x86/mm/pti: Do not invoke PTI functions when PTI is disabled When PTI is disabled at boot time either because the CPU is not affected or PTI has been disabled on the command line, the boot code still calls into pti_finalize() which then unconditionally invokes: pti_clone_entry_text() pti_clone_kernel_text() pti_clone_kernel_text() was called unconditionally before the 32bit support was added and 32bit added the call to pti_clone_entry_text(). The call has no side effects as cloning the page tables into the available second one, which was allocated for PTI does not create damage. But it does not make sense either and in case that this functionality would be extended later this might actually lead to hard to diagnose issues. Neither function should be called when PTI is runtime disabled. Make the invocation conditional.
