x86/mm: Avoid using set_pgd() outside of real PGD pages
KPTI keeps around two PGDs: one for userspace and another for the kernel. Among other things, set_pgd() contains infrastructure to ensure that updates to the kernel PGD are reflected in the user PGD as well. One side-effect of this is that set_pgd() expects to be passed whole pages. Unfortunately, init_trampoline_kaslr() passes in a single entry: 'trampoline_pgd_entry'. When KPTI is on, set_pgd() will update 'trampoline_pgd_entry' (an 8-Byte globally stored [.bss] variable) and will then proceed to replicate that value into the non-existent neighboring user page (located +4k away), leading to the corruption of other global [.bss] stored variables. Fix it by directly assigning 'trampoline_pgd_entry' and avoiding set_pgd().
