[RFC PATCH v2 2/3] arm64/mm: make pages read-only in the linear map

[Xueyuan Chen]

Implement arch_make_pages_readonly() for arm64. Make the corresponding
linear-map range read-only so unexpected writes fault instead of
corrupting shared contents.

Respect can_set_direct_map() before touching the linear map. If arm64
cannot safely update the linear map at page granularity, leave the mapping
unchanged.
