This effectively unexports set_memory_ro and set_memory_rw functions, and
thus reverts a03352d2c1dc ("x86: export set_memory_ro and set_memory_rw").
They have been introduced for debugging purposes in e1000e, but no module
user is in mainline kernel (anymore?) and we explicitly do not want modules
to use these functions, as they i.e. protect eBPF (interpreted & JIT'ed)
images from malicious modifications or bugs.
Outside of eBPF scope, I believe also other set_memory_* functions should
be unexported on x86 for modules.
