7744ccdbc16f0 ("x86/mm: Add Secure Memory Encryption (SME) support")
as a side-effect made PAGE_KERNEL all of a sudden unavailable to modules
which can't make use of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() symbols.
This is because once SME is enabled, sme_me_mask (which is introduced as
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL) makes its way to PAGE_KERNEL through _PAGE_ENC, causing
imminent build failure for all the modules which make use of all the
EXPORT-SYMBOL()-exported API (such as vmap(), __vmalloc(),
remap_pfn_range(), ...).
Exporting (as EXPORT_SYMBOL()) interfaces (and having done so for ages)
that take pgprot_t argument, while making it impossible to -- all of a
sudden -- pass PAGE_KERNEL to it, feels rather incosistent.
Restore the original behavior and make it possible to pass PAGE_KERNEL to
all its EXPORT_SYMBOL() consumers.
