[PATCH v7 34/50] arm64: Avoid #define'ing PTE_MAYBE_NG to 0x0 for asm use

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb at kernel.org>
The PROT_* macros resolve to expressions that are only valid in C and
not in assembler, and so they are only usable from C code. Currently, we
make an exception for the permission indirection init code in proc.S,
which doesn't care about the bits that are conditionally set, and so we
just #define PTE_MAYBE_NG to 0x0 for any assembler file that includes
these definitions.
This is dodgy because this means that PROT_NORMAL and friends is
generally available in asm code, but defined in a way that deviates from
the definition that C code will observe, which might lead to hard to
diagnose issues down the road.
So instead, #define PTE_MAYBE_NG only in the place where the PIE
constants are evaluated, and #undef it again right after. This allows us
to drop the #define from pgtable-prot.h, and avoid the risk of deviating
definitions between asm and C.
