x86/pti: Make unpoison of pgd for trusted boot work for real
The inital fix for trusted boot and PTI potentially misses the pgd clearing
if pud_alloc() sets a PGD. It probably works in *practice* because for two
adjacent calls to map_tboot_page() that share a PGD entry, the first will
clear NX, *then* allocate and set the PGD (without NX clear). The second
call will *not* allocate but will clear the NX bit.
Defer the NX clearing to a point after it is known that all top-level
allocations have occurred. Add a comment to clarify why.
