[PATCH v2 1/4] arm64: patching: always use fixmap

[Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>]

For historical reasons, patch_map() won't bother to fixmap non-image
addresses when CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX=n, matching the behaviour prior
to the introduction of CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX. However, as arm64
doesn't select CONFIG_ARCH_OPTIONAL_KERNEL_RWX, CONFIG_MODULES implies
CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX, so any kernel built with module support will
use the fixmap for any non-image address.

Historically we only used patch_map() for the kernel image and modules,
but these days its also used by BPF and KPROBES to write to read-only
pages of executable text. Currently these both depend on CONFIG_MODULES,
but we'd like to change that in subsequent patches, which will require
using the fixmap regardless of CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX.

This patch changes patch_map() to always use the fixmap, and simplifies
the logic:

* Use is_image_text() directly in the if-else, rather than using a
  temporary boolean variable.

* Use offset_in_page() to get the offset within the mapping.

* Remove uintaddr and cast the address directly when using
  is_image_text().

For kernels built with CONFIG_MODULES=y, there should be no functional
change as a result of this patch.

For kernels built with CONFIG_MODULES=n, patch_map() will use the fixmap
for non-image addresses, but there are no extant users with non-image
addresses when CONFIG_MODULES=n, and hence there should be no functional
change as a result of this patch alone.

Catalin, Will, this is a prerequisite for the final two patches in the
series. Are you happy for this go via the tracing tree?

Mark.
