[RFC PATCH 02/12] arm64: mm: add helpers to remap page tables read-only/read-write

[Ard Biesheuvel]

Add a couple of helpers to remap a single page read-only or read-write
via its linear address. This will be used for mappings of page table
pages in the linear region.

Note that set_memory_ro/set_memory_rw operate on addresses in the
vmalloc space only, so they cannot be used here.
