As seen below, allthough the init sections have been freed, the
associated memory area is still marked as executable in the
page tables. This patch fixes that.
[ 5.860093] Freeing unused kernel memory: 592K (c0570000 - c0604000)
---[ Start of kernel VM ]---
0xc0000000-0xc0497fff 4704K rw X present dirty accessed shared
0xc0498000-0xc056ffff 864K rw present dirty accessed shared
0xc0570000-0xc059ffff 192K rw X present dirty accessed shared
0xc05a0000-0xc7ffffff 125312K rw present dirty accessed shared
---[ vmalloc() Area ]---
