x86/pti: Fix boot warning from Global-bit setting commit 231df823c4f04176f607afc4576c989895cff40e The pageattr.c code attempts to process "faults" when it goes looking for PTEs to change and finds non-present entries. It allows these faults in the linear map which is "expected to have holes", but WARN()s about them elsewhere, like when called on the kernel image. However, change_page_attr_clear() is now called on the kernel image in the process of trying to clear the Global bit. This trips the warning in __cpa_process_fault() if a non-present PTE is encountered in the kernel image. The "holes" in the kernel image result from free_init_pages()'s use of set_memory_np(). These holes are totally fine, and result from normal operation, just as they would be in the kernel linear map. Just silence the warning when holes in the kernel image are encountered.
