tracing: allow to change permissions for text with dynamic ftrace enabled
The commit 74e081797bd9d2a7d8005fe519e719df343a2ba8
x86-64: align RODATA kernel section to 2MB with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA
prevents text sections from becoming read/write using set_memory_rw.
The dynamic ftrace changes all text pages to read/write just before
converting the calls to tracing to nops, and vice versa.
I orginally just added a flag to allow this transaction when ftrace
did the change, but I also found that when the CPA testing was running
it would remove the read/write as well, and ftrace does not do the text
conversion on boot up, and the CPA changes caused the dynamic tracer
to fail on self tests.
The current solution I have is to simply not to prevent
change_page_attr from setting the RW bit for kernel text pages.
