[PATCH 4/7] 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. For this reason, we make it optional and keep it OFF by default.
