Subject: kprobes/x86: Fix to set RWX bits correctly before releasing trampoline

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>

commit c93f5cf571e7795f97d49ef51b766cf25e328545 upstream.

Fix kprobes to set(recover) RWX bits correctly on trampoline
buffer before releasing it. Releasing readonly page to
module_memfree() crash the kernel.

Without this fix, if kprobes user register a bunch of kprobes
in function body (since kprobes on function entry usually
use ftrace) and unregister it, kernel hits a BUG and crash.
