[PATCH v11 13/13] powerpc/32s: map kasan zero shadow with PAGE_READONLY instead of PAGE_KERNEL_RO

For hash32, the zero shadow page gets mapped with PAGE_READONLY instead
of PAGE_KERNEL_RO, because the PP bits don't provide a RO kernel, so
PAGE_KERNEL_RO is equivalent to PAGE_KERNEL. By using PAGE_READONLY,
the page is RO for both kernel and user, but this is not a security issue
as it contains only zeroes.
