commit 26d35ca6c3776784f8156e1d6f80cc60d9a2a915

RANDSTRUCT derives its hardening benefits from the attacker's lack of
knowledge about the layout of kernel data structures.  Keep the kernel
image non-global in cases where RANDSTRUCT is in use to help keep the
layout a secret.

Fixes: 8c06c7740 (x86/pti: Leave kernel text global for !PCID)
