[PATCH] arm: Use kernel mm when updating section permissions

[Laura Abbott]

Currently, read only permissions are not being applied even
when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set. This is because section_update
uses current->mm for adjusting the page tables. current->mm
need not be equivalent to the kernel version. Use pgd_offset_k
to get the proper page directory for updating.

I found this while trying to convince myself of something.
Dumping the page table via debugfs and writing to kernel text were both
showing the lack of mappings. This was observed on QEMU. Maybe it's just a
QEMUism but if not it probably should go to stable.
