[PATCH 1/2] riscv: mm: make EXECMEM_KPROBES writable without ARCH_HAS_EXECMEM_ROX

When CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_EXECMEM_ROX is not set, execmem cannot create
temporary writable mappings for read-only executable pages. In this
case, the execmem ranges must already have writable permissions.
Currently EXECMEM_KPROBES unconditionally uses PAGE_KERNEL_READ_EXEC,
which causes kprobe instruction slot writes to trigger page faults
on systems where CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is not enabled.
Fix this by using PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC when CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_EXECMEM_ROX
is not available.
