[PATCH v3 4/9] execmem: don't remove ROX cache from the direct map

[Mike Rapoport <rppt@kernel.org>]

From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@kernel.org>

The memory allocated for the ROX cache was removed from the direct map to
reduce amount of direct map updates, however this cannot be tolerated by
/proc/kcore that accesses module memory using vread_iter() and the latter
does vmalloc_to_page() and copy_page_to_iter_nofault().

Instead of removing ROX cache memory from the direct map and mapping it as
ROX in vmalloc space, simply call set_memory_rox() that will take care of
proper permissions on both vmalloc and in the direct map.
