[RFC 2/7] init: add set_ro_mostly_after_init_rw/ro function

From: Hoeun Ryu
Date: Sun Feb 19 2017 - 05:05:05 EST


Add set_ro_mostly_after_init_rw/ro pair to modify memory attributes for
memory marked as `ro_mostly_after_init`.

I am doubtful that this is the right place where these functions reside and
these functions are suitable for all architectures for memory attributes
modification. Please comment.
