[PATCH 2/2] acpi, apei: use appropriate pgprot_t to map GHES memory

[Matt Fleming]

From: "Jonathan (Zhixiong) Zhang" <zjzhang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

With ACPI APEI firmware first handling, generic hardware error
record is updated by firmware in GHES memory region. On an arm64
platform, firmware updates GHES memory region with uncached
access attribute, and then Linux reads stale data from cache.

GHES memory region should be mapped with page protection type
according to what is returned from arch_apei_get_mem_attribute(),
instead of always with PAGE_KERNEL (eg. cached attribute).
