arm64: Add CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX support
In a similar fashion to other architecture, add the infrastructure and Kconfig to enable DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX support. When enabled, module ranges will be marked read-only/no-execute as appropriate. Signed-off-by: Laura Abbott <lauraa@codeaurora.org> [will: fixed off-by-one in module end check] Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

+ This option helps catch unintended modifications to loadable
