Consolidate the arm64 decision making for the page protections used
for executable pages, used by both the trampoline code and the kernel
text mapping code.

Mark Rutland said when giving the ack "It seems nice to ensure this is
consistent, so regardless of whether we want the series as a whole ..."
So I'm sending this patch separately.
