x86/kexec: Disable LASS during relocate kernel

Browse Source 
The relocate kernel mechanism uses an identity mapping to copy the new
kernel, which leads to a LASS violation when executing from a low
address.

LASS must be disabled after the original CR4 value is saved because
kexec paths that preserve context need to restore CR4.LASS. But,
disabling it along with CET during identity_mapped() is too late. So,
disable LASS immediately after saving CR4, along with PGE, and before
jumping to the identity-mapped page.
