powerpc/mm: Warn if W+X pages found on boot

Implement code to walk all pages and warn if any are found to be both
writable and executable.  Depends on STRICT_KERNEL_RWX enabled, and is
behind the DEBUG_WX config option.

This only runs on boot and has no runtime performance implications.

Very heavily influenced (and in some cases copied verbatim) from the
ARM64 code written by Laura Abbott (thanks!), since our ptdump
infrastructure is similar.

+	  Generate a warning if any W+X mappings are found at boot.
+
+	  This is useful for discovering cases where the kernel is leaving
+	  W+X mappings after applying NX, as such mappings are a security risk.
+
+	  Note that even if the check fails, your kernel is possibly
+	  still fine, as W+X mappings are not a security hole in
+	  themselves, what they do is that they make the exploitation
+	  of other unfixed kernel bugs easier.
+
+	  There is no runtime or memory usage effect of this option
+	  once the kernel has booted up - it's a one time check.
+
+	  If in doubt, say "Y".
