This is a build fix for the 4.4 PTI backport. 4.4 kernels do not have commit be7635e7287e ("arch, ftrace: for KASAN put hard/soft IRQ entries into separate sections") which went into 4.6. Consequently, the irqentry sections are only created when CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER is enabled, not also when CONFIG_KASAN is enabled. Therefore, fix the condition for trying to add a user mapping for this section.
This fixes the following build error:
arch/x86/mm/kaiser.c: In function ‘kaiser_init’: arch/x86/mm/kaiser.c:367:33: error: ‘__irqentry_text_start’ undeclared (first use in this function) kaiser_add_user_map_ptrs_early(__irqentry_text_start, [...]
