[PATCH v4 22/26] arm64: mm: move ro_after_init section into the data segment

[Ard Biesheuvel]

Currently, the ro_after_init sections sits right in the middle of the
text/rodata/inittext segment, making it difficult to map any of those
non-writable during early boot. So instead, move it to the start of
.data, and update the init sequences so that the section is remapped
read-only once startup completes.

Note that this moves the entire HYP data section into .data as well -
this likely needs to remain as a single block for now, but could perhaps
split into a .rodata and .data..ro_after_init section later.
