ARM: 9461/1: Disable HIGHPTE on PREEMPT_RT kernels

Browse Source 
[ Upstream commit fedadc4137234c3d00c4785eeed3e747fe9036ae ]

gup_pgd_range() is invoked with disabled interrupts and invokes
__kmap_local_page_prot() via pte_offset_map(), gup_p4d_range().
With HIGHPTE enabled, __kmap_local_page_prot() invokes kmap_high_get()
which uses a spinlock_t via lock_kmap_any(). This leads to an
sleeping-while-atomic error on PREEMPT_RT because spinlock_t becomes a
sleeping lock and must not be acquired in atomic context.

The loop in map_new_virtual() uses wait_queue_head_t for wake up which
also is using a spinlock_t.

Since HIGHPTE is rarely needed at all, turn it off for PREEMPT_RT
to allow the use of get_user_pages_fast().

[arnd: rework patch to turn off HIGHPTE instead of HAVE_PAST_GUP]
