[PATCH v2 6/7] arm64: map linear region as non-executable

[Ard Biesheuvel]

Now that we moved the kernel text out of the linear region, there
is no longer a reason to map the linear region as executable. This
also allows us to completely get rid of the __map_mem() variant that
only maps some of it executable if CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is selected.
