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.

[ mingo: Squashed original fix with followup fix to avoid bisection breakage, wrote new changelog. ]
