JUMP_LABEL_FEATURE_CHECK_DEBUG used static_key_intialized to determine
whether {cpu,mmu}_has_feature() is used before static keys were
initialized. However, {cpu,mmu}_has_feature() should not be used before
setup_feature_keys() is called but static_key_initialized is set well
before this by the call to jump_label_init() in early_init_devtree().
This creates a window in which JUMP_LABEL_FEATURE_CHECK_DEBUG will not
detect misuse and report errors. Add a flag specifically to indicate
when {cpu,mmu}_has_feature() is safe to use.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
