mm: provide a fallback for PAGE_KERNEL_RO for architectures
Some architectures do not define certain PAGE_KERNEL_* flags, this is
either because:
a) The way to implement some of these flags is *not yet ported*, or
b) The architecture *has no way* to describe them
Over time we have accumulated a few PAGE_KERNEL_* fallback workarounds
for architectures in the kernel which do not define them using
*relatively safe* equivalents. Move these scattered fallback hacks into
asm-generic.
We start off with PAGE_KERNEL_RO using PAGE_KERNEL as a fallback. This
has been in place on the firmware loader for years. Move the fallback
into the respective asm-generic header.
