Ard Biesheuvel 28b066da69 arm64: mmu: map .text as read-only from the outset
Now that alternatives patching code no longer relies on the primary
mapping of .text being writable, we can remove the code that removes
the writable permissions post-init time, and map it read-only from
the outset.

To preserve the existing behavior under rodata=off, which is relied
upon by external debuggers to manage software breakpoints (as pointed
out by Mark), add an early_param() check for rodata=, and use RWX
permissions if it set to 'off'.
