Kernel Fault: Code=15 (Data TLB miss fault) at addr 0f7fe3c0
CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 6.3.0-rc4+ #16

This happens because patching static key code temporarily maps it via
fixmap and if it happens before page allocator is initialized set_fixmap()
cannot allocate memory using pte_alloc_kernel().

Make sure that fixmap page tables are preallocated early so that
pte_offset_kernel() in set_fixmap() never resorts to pte allocation.

I didn't add Fixes tag with the commit Christoph bisected because that
commit didn't change anything in the initialization of the static keys
and I really doubt it is the actual cause of the issue.
