[RFC PATCH v2 07/11] ARM64: mm: Make PAGE_NONE pages read only and no-execute.

If we consider the following code sequence:

	my_pte = pte_modify(entry, myprot);
	x = pte_write(my_pte);
	y = pte_exec(my_pte);

If myprot comes from a PROT_NONE page, then x and y will both be
true which is undesireable behaviour.

This patch sets the no-execute and read-only bits for PAGE_NONE
such that the code above will return false for both x and y.
