kprobes/x86: Set kprobes pages read-only



Set the pages which is used for kprobes' singlestep buffer
and optprobe's trampoline instruction buffer to readonly.
This can prevent unexpected (or unintended) instruction
modification.

This also passes rodata_test as below.

Without this patch, rodata_test shows a warning:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at arch/x86/mm/dump_pagetables.c:235 note_page+0x7a9/0xa20
  x86/mm: Found insecure W+X mapping at address ffffffffa0000000/0xffffffffa0000000

With this fix, no W+X pages are found:

  x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.
  rodata_test: all tests were successful
