Revert "arm64: mm: add support for WXN memory translation attribute"
This reverts commit 50e3ed0f93f4f62ed2aa83de5db6cb84ecdd5707.
The SCTLR_EL1.WXN control forces execute-never when a page has write
permissions. While the idea of hardening such write/exec combinations is
good, with permissions indirection enabled (FEAT_PIE) this control
becomes RES0. FEAT_PIE introduces a slightly different form of WXN which
only has an effect when the base permission is RWX and the write is
toggled by the permission overlay (FEAT_POE, not yet supported by the
arm64 kernel). Revert the patch for now.
