[PARISC] only make executable areas executable

Currently parisc has the whole kernel marked as RWX, meaning any
kernel page at all is eligible to be executed.  This can cause a
theoretical problem on systems with combined I/D TLB because the act
of referencing a page causes a TLB insertion with an executable bit.
This TLB entry may be used by the CPU as the basis for speculating the
page into the I-Cache.  If this speculated page is subsequently used
for a user process, there is the possibility we will get a stale
I-cache line picked up as the binary executes.

As a point of good practise, only mark actual kernel text pages as
executable.  The same has to be done for init_text pages, but they're
converted to data pages (and the I-Cache flushed) when the init memory
is released.
