[PATCH] arm64: set UXN on swapper page tables

On a system that implements FEAT_EPAN, read/write access to the idmap
is denied because UXN is not set on the swapper PTEs. As a result,
idmap_kpti_install_ng_mappings panics the kernel when accessing
__idmap_kpti_flag. Fix it by setting UXN on these PTEs.
Fixes: 18107f8a2df6 ("arm64: Support execute-only permissions with Enhanced PAN")

This fix is no longer needed since commit c3cee924bd85 ("arm64: head:
cover entire kernel image in initial ID map"), which moved __idmap_kpti_flag
to .data, but that commit is currently only present in next.
