commit 0b210faf337314e4bc88e796218bc70c72a51209 upstream.
Add a "never" option to the nx_huge_pages module param to allow userspace
to do a one-way hard disabling of the mitigation, and don't create the
per-VM recovery threads when the mitigation is hard disabled. Letting
userspace pinky swear that userspace doesn't want to enable NX mitigation
(without reloading KVM) allows certain use cases to avoid the latency
problems associated with spawning a kthread for each VM.
E.g. in FaaS use cases, the guest kernel is trusted and the host may
create 100+ VMs per logical CPU, which can result in 100ms+ latencies when
a burst of VMs is created.
