Paul Mackerras 11b55da700 powerpc: Fix oops when loading modules
This fixes a problem reported by Sean MacLennan where loading any
module would cause an oops.  We weren't marking the pages containing
the module text as having hardware execute permission, due to a bug
introduced in commit 8d1cf34e ("powerpc/mm: Tweak PTE bit combination
definitions"), hence trying to execute the module text caused an
exception on processors that support hardware execute permission.

This adds _PAGE_HWEXEC to the definitions of PAGE_KERNEL_X and
PAGE_KERNEL_ROX to fix this problem.
