arm64: mm: Map the kernel data/bss read-only in the linear map

On systems where the bootloader adheres to the original arm64 boot
protocol, the placement of the kernel in the physical address space is
highly predictable, and this makes the placement of its linear alias in
the kernel virtual address space equally predictable, given the lack of
randomization of the linear map.

The linear aliases of the kernel text and rodata regions are already
mapped read-only, but the kernel data and bss are mapped read-write in
this region. This is not needed, so map them read-only as well.

Note that the statically allocated kernel page tables do need to be
modifiable via the linear map, so leave these mapped read-write.
