When I'm trying to find out the proper fix tag for this, I happened to 
figure out why ARM64 doesn't call it. ARM64 actually called 
set_memory_ro() before commit 10d5e97c1bf8 ("arm64: use PAGE_KERNEL_ROX 
directly in alloc_insn_page"). But this commit removed it. It seems like 
the author and reviewers overlooked set_memory_ro() also changes direct 
map permission. So I believe adding set_memory_rox() is the right fix.

Thanks,
Yang
