[PATCH 1/3] x86/execmem: don't use PAGE_KERNEL protection for code pages

[Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com>]

In case X86_FEATURE_PSE isn't available (e.g. when running as a Xen
PV guest), execmem_arch_setup() will fall back to use PAGE_KERNEL
protection for the EXECMEM_MODULE_TEXT range.

This will result in attempts to execute code with the NX bit set in
case of ITS mitigation being applied.

Avoid this problem by using PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC protection instead,
which will not set the NX bit.
