[PATCH] powerpc: don't select KFENCE on platform PPC_FSL_BOOK3E

From: Liu Shixin
Date: Fri Sep 24 2021 - 02:11:25 EST


On platform PPC_FSL_BOOK3E, all lowmem is managed by tlbcam. That means
we didn't really map the kfence pool with page granularity. Therefore,
if KFENCE is enabled, the system will hit the following panic:

BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference on read at 0x00000000
Faulting instruction address: 0xc01de598
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
BE PAGE_SIZE=4K SMP NR_CPUS=4 MPC8544 DS
