[PATCH v3] x86/dom0: delay setting SMAP after dom0 build is done



Delay setting X86_CR4_SMAP on the BSP until the domain building is done, so
that there's no need to disable SMAP.  Note however that SMAP is enabled for
the APs on bringup, as domain builder code strictly run on the BSP.  Delaying
the setting for the APs would mean having to do a callfunc IPI later in order
to set it on all the APs.

The fixes tag is to account for the wrong usage of cpu_has_smap in
create_dom0(), it should instead have used
boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_XEN_SMAP).

While there also make cr4_pv32_mask __ro_after_init.
