x86, cpa: Fix kernel text RO checks in static_protection()
Steven Rostedt reported that we are unconditionally making the
kernel text mapping as read-only. i.e., if someone does cpa() to
the kernel text area for setting/clearing any page table
attribute, we unconditionally clear the read-write attribute for
the kernel text mapping that is set at compile time.
We should delay (to forbid the write attribute) and enforce only
after the kernel has mapped the text as read-only.
