powerpc/64s/radix: Fix RWX mapping with relocated kernel
If a relocatable kernel is loaded at a non-zero address and told not to
relocate to zero (kdump or RELOCATABLE_TEST), the mapping of the
interrupt code at zero is left with RWX permissions.
That is a security weakness, and leads to a warning at boot if
CONFIG_DEBUG_WX is enabled:

The fix has two parts. Firstly the pages from zero up to the end of
interrupts need to be marked read-only, so that they are left with R-X
permissions. Secondly the mapping logic needs to be taught to ensure
there is a page boundary at the end of the interrupt region, so that the
permission change only applies to the interrupt text, and not the region
following it.
