x86/mm: Fix early boot use of INVPLGB
The INVLPGB instruction has limits on how many pages it can invalidate
at once. That limit is enumerated in CPUID, read by the kernel, and
stored in 'invpgb_count_max'. Ranged invalidation, like
invlpgb_kernel_range_flush() break up their invalidations so
that they do not exceed the limit.
However, early boot code currently attempts to do ranged
invalidation before populating 'invlpgb_count_max'. There is a
for loop which is basically:
for (...; addr < end; addr += invlpgb_count_max*PAGE_SIZE)
If invlpgb_kernel_range_flush is called before the kernel has read
the value of invlpgb_count_max from the hardware, the normally
bounded loop can become an infinite loop if invlpgb_count_max is
initialized to zero.
Fix that issue by initializing invlpgb_count_max to 1.
This way INVPLGB at early boot time will be a little bit slower
than normal (with initialized invplgb_count_max), and not an
instant hang at bootup time.
