[PATCH 2/2] powerpc/strict_rwx: fixup region splitting

We were aggressive with splitting regions and missed the case
when _stext and __init_begin completely overlap addr and addr+mapping.

This patch fixes that case and allows us to keep the largest possible
mapping through the overlap. The patch also simplies the check
into a function

Fixes: 7614ff3 ("powerpc/mm/radix: Implement STRICT_RWX/mark_rodata_ro() for Radix")
