_PAGE_ENC is #defined as sme_me_mask and sme_me_mask has already been
set (or not set) at this point - so it will be the mask if SME is
active or 0 if SME is not active. sme_early_init() is merely
propagating the mask to other structures. Since early_pmd_flags is
mainly used in this file (one line in head_64.S is the other place) I
felt it best to modify it here. But it can always be moved if you feel
that is best.

Thanks,
Tom
