[PATCH] x86/mm: keep __default_kernel_pte_mask in sync with __supported_pte_mask

[Jan Beulich]

Both masks get applied in the process of e.g. set_fixmap() - the former
through use of PAGE_KERNEL, the latter by use of massage_pgprot(). Hence
forever since the introduction of the former there was a time window
(between x86_configure_nx() and the syncing of the two in
probe_page_size_mask(), as called from init_mem_mapping()) where fixmap
mappings would get established without NX set. For a 32-bit kernel
running in PV mode under Xen this meant a W+X mapping (and associated
warning) for its shared info page mapping established in
xen_pv_init_platform().
