This removes the CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA option and makes it always
enabled.

v1: This is in the same spirit as the x86 patch, removing allowing
this option to be config selected. The associated patch series adds a
runtime option for the same thing. However, it does affect the way
some things are mapped, and could possibly result in either increased
memory usage, or a performance hit (due to TLB misses from 4K pages).

I've tested this on a Hikey 96board (hi6220-hikey.dtb), both with and
without 'rodata=off' on the command line.

- If this is set, kernel text and rodata will be made read-only. This
- is to help catch accidental or malicious attempts to change the
- kernel's executable code. Additionally splits rodata from kernel
