Subject: [PATCH v3] module: extend 'rodata=off' boot cmdline parameter to module mappings
The current "rodata=off" parameter disables read-only kernel mappings
under CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA:
commit d2aa1acad22f ("mm/init: Add 'rodata=off' boot cmdline parameter
to disable read-only kernel mappings")
This patch is a logical extension to module mappings ie. read-only mappings
at module loading can be disabled even if CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX
(mainly for debug use). Please note, however, that it only affects RO/RW
permissions, keeping NX set.
This is the first step to make CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX mandatory
(always-on) in the future as CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA on x86 and arm64.

v3:
* merge if-statements in disable_ro_nx()
v2:
* use CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA/SET_MODULE_RONX guards better where appropriate
* make "rodata_enabled" variable as __ro_after_init
v1:
* remove RFC's "module_ronx=" and merge it with "rodata="
* always keep NX set if CONFIG_SET_MODULE_RONX
