[PATCH 4/5] RISC-V: Protect .init.text & .init.data

Currently, .init.text & .init.data are intermixed which makes it impossible
apply different permissions to them. .init.data shouldn't need exec
permissions while .init.text shouldn't have write permission.

Keep them in separate sections so that different permissions are applied to
each section. This improves the kernel protection under
CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX. We also need to restore the permissions for the
entire _init section after it is freed so that those pages can be used for
other purpose.
