[PATCH v2 2/2] powerpc/mm: Support execute-only memory on the Radix MMU

The Hash MMU already supports XOM (i.e. mmap with PROT_EXEC only)
through the execute-only pkey.  A PROT_EXEC-only mapping will actually
map to RX, and then the pkey will be applied on top of it.

Radix doesn't have pkeys, but it does have execute permissions built-in
to the MMU, so all we have to do to support XOM is expose it.

That's not possible with protection_map being const, so make it RO after
init instead.

v2: Make protection_map __ro_after_init and set it in an initcall
(v1 didn't work, I tested before rebasing on Anshuman's patches)

basic test: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ruscur/junkcode/main/mmap_test.c
