[PATCH v4 8/8] powerpc/mm: Disable set_memory() routines when strict RWX isn't enabled

[Russell Currey]

There are a couple of reasons that the set_memory() functions are
problematic when STRICT_KERNEL_RWX isn't enabled:

 - The linear mapping is a different size and apply_to_page_range()
	may modify a giant section, breaking everything
 - patch_instruction() doesn't know to work around a page being marked
 	RO, and will subsequently crash

The latter can be replicated by building a kernel with the set_memory()
patches but with STRICT_KERNEL_RWX off and running ftracetest.
