[PATCH v2 3/3] powerpc/mm: Implement CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA on PPC32

This patch implements CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA on PPC32.

As for CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, it deactivates BAT and LTLB mappings
in order to allow page protection setup at the level of each page.

As BAT/LTLB mappings are deactivated, their might be performance
impact. For this reason, we keep it OFF by default.

 v2: For ftrace, only change the attributes of the page to be modified
