Actually, it looks like a defenseless little buglet, and this gripe
simply wants to be disabled for RT.

arm64: disable arch_faults_on_old_pte() preemptible() warning for RT

arch_faults_on_old_pte() was never called in < 5.12-rt, but 5.12 added
arch_wants_old_prefaulted_pte(), which is a wrapper thereof, and thus
finish_fault() -> do_set_pte() -> arch_wants_old_prefaulted_pte() now
calls it, in preemptible context, and a flood of complaints ensues.

Kill it for RT.
