x86/mm: Prevent early boot triple-faults with instrumentation
Commit in Fixes added a global TLB flush on the early boot path, after
the kernel switches off of the trampoline page table.
Compiler profiling options enabled with GCOV_PROFILE add additional
measurement code on clang which needs to be initialized prior to
use. The global flush in x86_64_start_kernel() happens before those
initializations can happen, leading to accessing invalid memory.
GCOV_PROFILE builds with gcc are still ok so this is clang-specific.
The second issue this fixes is with KASAN: for a similar reason,
kasan_early_init() needs to have happened before KASAN-instrumented
functions are called.
Therefore, reorder the flush to happen after the KASAN early init
and prevent the compilers from adding profiling instrumentation to
native_write_cr4().
