For 64b kernels, we map all the kernel with write and execute permissions
and afterwards remove writability from text and executability from data.
For 32b kernels, the kernel mapping resides in the linear mapping, so we
map all the linear mapping as writable and executable and afterwards we
remove those properties for unused memory and kernel mapping as
described above.
Change this behavior to directly map the kernel with correct permissions
and avoid going through the whole mapping to fix the permissions.
At the same time, this fixes an issue introduced by commit 2bfc6cd81bd1
("riscv: Move kernel mapping outside of linear mapping") as reported
here https://github.com/starfive-tech/linux/issues/17.

I believe there is new revision of this patch in development but I
wanted to say that I tested it on the BeagleV Starlight and it resolve
the W+X warning [1]:
Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found
I did this by removing b865eb8 ("riscv: mm: Fix W+X mappings at boot")
from Emil's starlight branch [1] and applying the patch from this email.
Thanks,
Drew
