x86/mm: Avoid VLA in pgd_alloc()
Arnd Bergmann reported that turning on -Wvla found a new (unintended) VLA usage: arch/x86/mm/pgtable.c: In function 'pgd_alloc': include/linux/build_bug.h:29:45: error: ISO C90 forbids variable length array 'u_pmds' [-Werror=vla] arch/x86/mm/pgtable.c:190:34: note: in expansion of macro 'static_cpu_has' #define PREALLOCATED_USER_PMDS (static_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_PTI) ? \ ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ arch/x86/mm/pgtable.c:431:16: note: in expansion of macro 'PREALLOCATED_USER_PMDS' pmd_t *u_pmds[PREALLOCATED_USER_PMDS]; ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Use the actual size of the array that is used for X86_FEATURE_PTI, which is known at build time, instead of the variable size.
