[PATCH v2 8/9] livepatch: Remove module_disable_ro() usage

[Josh Poimboeuf]

With arch_klp_init_object_loaded() gone, and apply_relocate_add() now
using text_poke(), livepatch no longer needs to use module_disable_ro().

The text_mutex usage can also be removed -- its purpose was to protect
against module permission change races.
