[PATCHv3 7/7] arm64: add better page protections to arm64

[lauraa@codeaurora.org (Laura Abbott)]

Add page protections for arm64 similar to those in arm.
This is for security reasons to prevent certain classes
of exploits. The current method:

- Map all memory as either RWX or RW. We round to the nearest
  section to avoid creating page tables before everything is mapped
- Once everything is mapped, if either end of the RWX section should
  not be X, we split the PMD and remap as necessary
- When initmem is to be freed, we change the permissions back to
  RW (using stop machine if necessary to flush the TLB)
- If CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set, the read only sections are set
  read only.
