The asm-generic fixmap.h depends on each architecture's fixmap.h to pull
in the definition of PAGE_KERNEL_RO, if this exists. In the absence of
this, FIXMAP_PAGE_RO will not be defined. In mm/early_ioremap.c the
definition of early_memremap_ro is predicated on FIXMAP_PAGE_RO being
defined.

Currently, the arm64 fixmap.h doesn't include pgtable.h for the
definition of PAGE_KERNEL_RO, and as a knock-on effect early_memremap_ro
is not always defined, leading to link-time failures when it is used.
This has been observed with defconfig on next-20160226.

Unfortunately, as pgtable.h includes fixmap.h, adding the include
introduces a circular dependency, which is just as fragile.

Instead, this patch factors out PAGE_KERNEL_RO and other prot
definitions into a new pgtable-prot header which can be included by poth
pgtable.h and fixmap.h, avoiding the  circular dependency, and ensuring
that early_memremap_ro is alwyas defined where it is used.
