4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 4831b779403a836158917d59a7ca880483c67378 upstream.
If something goes wrong with pagetable setup, vsyscall=native will
accidentally fall back to emulation. Make it warn and fail so that we
notice.
