tracing: allow to change permissions for text with dynamic ftrace enabled
The commit 74e08179 x86-64: align RODATA kernel section to 2MB with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA prevents text sections from becoming read/write using set_memory_rw. The dynamic ftrace changes all text pages to read/write just before converting the calls to tracing to nops, and vice versa. I orginally just added a flag to allow this transaction when ftrace did the change, but I also found that when the CPA testing was running it would remove the read/write as well, and ftrace does not do the text conversion on boot up, and the CPA changes caused the dynamic tracer to fail on self tests. The current solution I have is to simply not to prevent change_page_attr from setting the RW bit for kernel text pages.
