From: Russell Currey <rus...@russell.cc>
With CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX=y and CONFIG_KPROBES=y, there will be one
W+X page at boot by default. This can be tested with
CONFIG_PPC_PTDUMP=y and CONFIG_PPC_DEBUG_WX=y set, and checking the
kernel log during boot.
Add an arch specific insn page allocator which returns RO pages if
STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is enabled. This page is only written to with
patch_instruction() which is able to write RO pages.

v9: - vmalloc_exec() no longer exists
- Set the page to RW before freeing it
