This patch implements CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA on PPC32.
As for CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, it deactivates BAT and LTLB mappings
in order to allow page protection setup at the level of each page.
As BAT/LTLB mappings are deactivated, their might be performance
impact. For this reason, we keep it OFF by default.

v2: For ftrace, only change the attributes of the page to be modified
