Got around to it; I added the below patch on top and things seem to

Subject: x86/mm: Implement native set_memory_rox()
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
Date: Sat Oct 29 13:19:31 CEST 2022

Provide a native implementation of set_memory_rox(), avoiding the
double set_memory_ro();set_memory_x(); calls.

Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
