[PATCH] arm64: make CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA non-optional

[David Brown]

This removes the CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA option and makes it always
enabled.

v1: This is in the same spirit as the x86 patch, removing allowing
this option to be config selected.  The associated patch series adds a
runtime option for the same thing.  However, it does affect the way
some things are mapped, and could possibly result in either increased
memory usage, or a performance hit (due to TLB misses from 4K pages).

I've tested this on a Hikey 96board (hi6220-hikey.dtb), both with and
without 'rodata=off' on the command line.
