Subject: x86, perf: Fix static_key bug in load_mm_cr4()
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit a833581e372a4adae2319d8dc379493edbc444e9 upstream.
Mikulas reported his K6-3 not booting. This is because the
static_key API confusion struck and bit Andy, this wants to be
static_key_false().
