x86/speculation/l1tf: Exempt zeroed PTEs from inversion

commit f19f5c49bbc3ffcc9126cc245fc1b24cc29f4a37 upstream.

It turns out that we should *not* invert all not-present mappings,
because the all zeroes case is obviously special.

clear_page() does not undergo the XOR logic to invert the address bits,
i.e. PTE, PMD and PUD entries that have not been individually written
will have val=0 and so will trigger __pte_needs_invert(). As a result,
{pte,pmd,pud}_pfn() will return the wrong PFN value, i.e. all ones
(adjusted by the max PFN mask) instead of zero. A zeroed entry is ok
because the page at physical address 0 is reserved early in boot
specifically to mitigate L1TF, so explicitly exempt them from the
inversion when reading the PFN.

Manifested as an unexpected mprotect(..., PROT_NONE) failure when called
on a VMA that has VM_PFNMAP and was mmap'd to as something other than
PROT_NONE but never used. mprotect() sends the PROT_NONE request down
prot_none_walk(), which walks the PTEs to check the PFNs.
prot_none_pte_entry() gets the bogus PFN from pte_pfn() and returns
-EACCES because it thinks mprotect() is trying to adjust a high MMIO
address.

[ This is a very modified version of Sean's original patch, but all
  credit goes to Sean for doing this and also pointing out that
  sometimes the __pte_needs_invert() function only gets the protection
  bits, not the full eventual pte.  But zero remains special even in
  just protection bits, so that's ok.   - Linus ]
