ARM: 8502/1: mm: mark section-aligned portion of rodata NX 

When rodata is large enough that it crosses a section boundary after the
kernel text, mark the rest NX. This is as close to full NX of rodata as
we can get without splitting page tables or doing section alignment via
CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA.

When the config is:

 CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y
 # CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA is not set

Before:

---[ Kernel Mapping ]---
0x80000000-0x80100000           1M     RW NX SHD
0x80100000-0x80a00000           9M     ro x  SHD
0x80a00000-0xa0000000         502M     RW NX SHD

After:

---[ Kernel Mapping ]---
0x80000000-0x80100000           1M     RW NX SHD
0x80100000-0x80700000           6M     ro x  SHD
0x80700000-0x80a00000           3M     ro NX SHD
0x80a00000-0xa0000000         502M     RW NX SHD
