[PATCH v4 11/20] arm64: add PTE_UXN/PTE_WRITE to SWAPPER_*_FLAGS

With PIE enabled, the swapper PTEs would have a Permission Indirection Index
(PIIndex) of 0. A PIIndex of 0 is not currently used by any other PTEs.

To avoid using index 0 specifically for the swapper PTEs, mark them as
PTE_UXN and PTE_WRITE, so that they map to a PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC equivalent.

This also adds PTE_WRITE to KPTI_NG_PTE_FLAGS, which was tested by booting
with kpti=on.
