On PPC_85xx, enabling DEBUG_PAGEALLOC without STRICT_KERNEL_RWX activates
the DATA_SHIFT range of 20..24, but since the PAGE_SHIFT default is
outside the range (12), kconfig adjusts it to 20, causing 1mb alignment
instead of 4kb. However, the larger alignment is only needed for the
separate kernel permissions provided by STRICT_KERNEL_RWX.
Since PPC_85xx uses page poisoning for DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and does not
support KFENCE, let's restrict this range to STRICT_KERNEL_RWX.
This out-of-range default was found by kconfirm, a static analysis tool
for Kconfig.
