Will Deacon b1480ed230 arm64: patching: fix handling of execmem addresses
Klara Modin reported warnings for a kernel configured with BPF_JIT but
without MODULES:

The problem is because bpf_arch_text_copy() silently fails to write to the
read-only area as a result of patch_map() faulting and the resulting
-EFAULT being chucked away.

Update patch_map() to use CONFIG_EXECMEM instead of
CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX to check for vmalloc addresses.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
