arm64: kpti: Fix "kpti=off" when KASLR is enabled

Enabling KASLR forces the use of non-global page-table entries for kernel
mappings, as this is a decision that we have to make very early on before
mapping the kernel proper. When used in conjunction with the "kpti=off"
command-line option, it is possible to use non-global kernel mappings but
with the kpti trampoline disabled.

Since commit 09e3c22a86f6 ("arm64: Use a variable to store non-global
mappings decision"), arm64_kernel_unmapped_at_el0() reflects only the use of
non-global mappings and does not take into account whether the kpti
trampoline is enabled. This breaks context switching of the TPIDRRO_EL0
register for 64-bit tasks, where the clearing of the register is deferred to
the ret-to-user code, but it also breaks the ARM SPE PMU driver which
helpfully recommends passing "kpti=off" on the command line!

Report whether or not KPTI is actually enabled in
arm64_kernel_unmapped_at_el0() and check the 'arm64_use_ng_mappings' global
variable directly when determining the protection flags for kernel mappings.
