x86/mm: Ease W^X enforcement back to just a warning
Currently, the "change_page_attr" (CPA) code refuses to create
W+X mappings on 64-bit kernels. There have been reports both
from 32-bit[1] and from BPF[2] users where this change kept the
system from booting.
These reports are showing up even after about a month of soak
time in -next.
To avoid breaking anything, never enforce W^X. Always warn
and return the requested permissions even if a problem is
detected.
