[PATCH v2 3/5] powerpc/mm: Implement STRICT_KERNEL_RWX on PPC32

This patch implements STRICT_KERNEL_RWX 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, there might be a performance
impact.
