[RFT PATCH v2 02/23] x86/boot: Disregard __supported_pte_mask in __startup_64()

[Ard Biesheuvel]

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>

__supported_pte_mask is statically initialized to U64_MAX and never
assigned until long after the startup code executes that creates the
initial page tables. So applying the mask is unnecessary, and can be
avoided.
