set_memory_attr() was implemented by commit 4d1755b6a762 ("powerpc/mm:
implement set_memory_attr()") because the set_memory_xx() couldn't
be used at that time to modify memory "on the fly" as explained it
the commit.
But set_memory_attr() uses set_pte_at() which leads to warnings when
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is selected, because set_pte_at() is unexpected for
updating existing page table entries.
The check could be bypassed by using __set_pte_at() instead,
as it was the case before commit c988cfd38e48 ("powerpc/32:
use set_memory_attr()") but since commit 9f7853d7609d ("powerpc/mm:
Fix set_memory_*() against concurrent accesses") it is now possible
to use set_memory_xx() functions to update page table entries
"on the fly" because the update is now atomic.
For DEBUG_PAGEALLOC we need to clear and set back _PAGE_PRESENT.
Add set_memory_np() and set_memory_p() for that.
Replace all uses of set_memory_attr() by the relevant set_memory_xx()
and remove set_memory_attr().

In addition to the set_memory_xx() functions which allows to change
the memory attributes of not (yet) used memory regions, implement a
set_memory_attr() function to:
- set the final memory protection after init on currently used
kernel regions.
- enable/disable kernel memory regions in the scope of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.
Unlike the set_memory_xx() which can act in three step as the regions
are unused, this function must modify 'on the fly' as the kernel is
executing from them. At the moment only PPC32 will use it and changing
page attributes on the fly is not an issue.

The set_memory_{ro/rw/nx/x}() functions are required for
STRICT_MODULE_RWX, and are generally useful primitives to have. This
implementation is designed to be generic across powerpc's many MMUs.
It's possible that this could be optimised to be faster for specific
MMUs.
This implementation does not handle cases where the caller is attempting
to change the mapping of the page it is executing from, or if another
CPU is concurrently using the page being altered. These cases likely
shouldn't happen, but a more complex implementation with MMU-specific code
could safely handle them.
On hash, the linear mapping is not kept in the linux pagetable, so this
will not change the protection if used on that range. Currently these
functions are not used on the linear map so just WARN for now.
apply_to_existing_page_range() does not work on huge pages so for now
disallow changing the protection of huge pages.
[jpn: - Allow set memory functions to be used without Strict RWX
- Hash: Disallow certain regions
- Have change_page_attr() take function pointers to manipulate ptes
- Radix: Add ptesync after set_pte_at()]
