x86/mm/pti: Remove dead logic in pti_user_pagetable_walk*()

Browse Source 
The following code contains dead logic:

 162 if (pgd_none(*pgd)) {
 163         unsigned long new_p4d_page = __get_free_page(gfp);
 164         if (!new_p4d_page)
 165                 return NULL;
 166
 167         if (pgd_none(*pgd)) {
 168                 set_pgd(pgd, __pgd(_KERNPG_TABLE | __pa(new_p4d_page)));
 169                 new_p4d_page = 0;
 170         }
 171         if (new_p4d_page)
 172                 free_page(new_p4d_page);
 173 }

There can't be any difference between two pgd_none(*pgd) at L162 and L167,
so it's always false at L171.

Dave Hansen explained:

 Yes, the double-test was part of an optimization where we attempted to
 avoid using a global spinlock in the fork() path.  We would check for
 unallocated mid-level page tables without the lock.  The lock was only
 taken when we needed to *make* an entry to avoid collisions.
 
 Now that it is all single-threaded, there is no chance of a collision,
 no need for a lock, and no need for the re-check.

As all these functions are only called during init, mark them __init as
well.
