mainlining shenanigans

Currently the KASLR code is silent at boot unless it forces on KPTI in which case a message will be printed for that. This can lead to users incorrectly believing their system has the feature enabled when it in fact does not, and if they notice the problem the lack of any diagnostics makes it harder to understand the problem. Add an initcall which prints a message showing the status of KASLR during boot to make the status clear. This is particularly useful in cases where we don't have a seed. It seems to be a relatively common error for system integrators and administrators to enable KASLR in their configuration but not provide the seed at runtime, often due to seed provisioning breaking at some later point after it is initially enabled and verified.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
