[PATCH] arm64: pageattr: Explicitly bail out when changing permissions for vmalloc_huge mappings

arm64 uses apply_to_page_range to change permissions for kernel VA mappings,
which does not support changing permissions for leaf mappings. This function
will change permissions until it encounters a leaf mapping, and will bail
out. To avoid this partial change, explicitly disallow changing permissions
for VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP mappings.
