Subject: [PATCH 5.1 85/85] x86/kprobes: Set instruction page as executable
[ Upstream commit 7298e24f904224fa79eb8fd7e0fbd78950ccf2db ]
Set the page as executable after allocation. This patch is a
preparatory patch for a following patch that makes module allocated
pages non-executable.
While at it, do some small cleanup of what appears to be unnecessary
masking.
