mm/execmem: use VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS for ROX cache allocations
Initially execmem completely removed direct map alias for the memory allocated for the ROX cache in PMD_SIZE chunks. When that memory was freed, its direct map was restored also in PMD_SIZE chunks to avoid fragmentation of the direct map caused by vmalloc::vm_reset_perms(). This required execmem to implement the wrappers for set_direct_map APIs for proper sequencing of removal and restoration of the direct map aliases. Since then x86's CPA gained support for collapsing the direct map page tables for ROX pages and execmem switched from removing ROX caches from the direct map to making them ROX there, so execmem only needs to update direct map alias permissions when freeing the ROX cache memory. vmalloc already handles those updates for areas with VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS set and vmalloc::vm_reset_perms() does not force split of the direct map for PMD_SIZE chunks. Set the area permissions with set_vm_flush_reset_perms() when populating the execmem cache just before flipping the area to ROX. This way freeing an allocated area on an error path won't incur two updates of the direct map alias of that area and TLB flushing in vm_reset_perms().
