x86/mm/pti: Clone kernel-image on PTE level for 32 bit



On 32 bit the kernel sections are not huge-page aligned.  When we clone
them on PMD-level we unevitably map some areas that are normal kernel
memory and may contain secrets to user-space. To prevent that we need to
clone the kernel-image on PTE-level for 32 bit.

Also make the page-table cloning code more general so that it can handle
PMD and PTE level cloning. This can be generalized further in the future to
also handle clones on the P4D-level.
