arm64: mm: avoid fixmap for early swapper_pg_dir updates
Early in the boot, when .rodata is still writable, we can poke swapper_pg_dir entries directly, and there is no need to go through the fixmap. After a future patch, we will enter the kernel with swapper_pg_dir already active, and early swapper_pg_dir updates for creating the fixmap page table hierarchy itself cannot go through the fixmap for obvious reaons. So let's keep track of whether rodata is writable, and update the descriptor directly in that case. As the same reasoning applies to early KASAN init, make the function noinstr as well.
