arm64: Move some head.text functions to executable section
The head.text section is intended to be run at early bootup before any of the regular kernel mappings have been setup. Parts of head.text may be freed back into the buddy allocator due to TEXT_OFFSET so for security requirements this memory must not be executable. The suspend/resume/hotplug code path requires some of these head.S functions to run however which means they need to be executable. Support these conflicting requirements by moving the few head.text functions that need to be executable to the text section which has the appropriate page table permissions.
