Subject: x86/decompressor: Assign paging related global variables earlier
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 00c6b0978ec182f1a672095930872168b9d5b1e2 upstream.
There is no need to defer the assignment of the paging related global
variables 'pgdir_shift' and 'ptrs_per_p4d' until after the trampoline is
cleaned up, so assign them as soon as it is clear that 5-level paging
will be enabled.
