4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Borislav Petkov bp@suse.de
This needs to happen early in kaiser_pagetable_walk(), before the hierarchy is established so that _PAGE_USER permission can be really set.
A proper fix would be to teach kaiser_pagetable_walk() to update those permissions but the vsyscall page is the only exception here so ...
