Joerg Roedel 61a6bd83ab Revert "x86/mm/legacy: Populate the user page-table with user pgd's"
This reverts commit 1f40a46cf4.

It turned out that this patch is not sufficient to enable PTI on 32 bit
systems with legacy 2-level page-tables. In this paging mode the huge-page
PTEs are in the top-level page-table directory, where also the mirroring to
the user-space page-table happens. So every huge PTE exits twice, in the
kernel and in the user page-table.

That means that accessed/dirty bits need to be fetched from two PTEs in
this mode to be safe, but this is not trivial to implement because it needs
changes to generic code just for the sake of enabling PTI with 32-bit
legacy paging. As all systems that need PTI should support PAE anyway,
remove support for PTI when 32-bit legacy paging is used.

Fixes: 7757d607c6 ('x86/pti: Allow CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION for x86_32')
