This is the ARM64 variant for 314beb9bcab ("x86: bpf_jit_comp: secure bpf
jit against spraying attacks").

Thanks to commit 11d91a770f1f ("arm64: Add CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX
support") which added necessary infrastructure, we can now implement
RO marking of eBPF generated JIT image pages and randomize start offset
for the JIT code, so that it does not reside directly on a page boundary
anymore. Likewise, the holes are filled with illegal instructions.

This is basically the ARM64 variant of what we already have in ARM via
commit 55309dd3d4cd ("net: bpf: arm: address randomize and write protect
JIT code"). Moreover, this commit also presents a merge resolution due to
conflicts with commit 60a3b2253c41 ("net: bpf: make eBPF interpreter images
read-only") as we don't use kfree() in bpf_jit_free() anymore to release
the locked bpf_prog structure, but instead bpf_prog_unlock_free() through
a different allocator.

JIT tested on aarch64 with BPF test suite.

v1 -> v2:
- Use brk insn as suggested by Catalin, thanks a lot for
your feedback! Rest unchanged.
Note:
- This patch depends on net-next being merged to mainline due
to the mentioned merge conflict.

Missed this on first round of review, I think we also need
cpu_to_le32(...) here.

Just wondering ... so that would also hold true in case I build/run my
kernel in big-endian (CPU_BIG_ENDIAN)?

Thanks Daniel.
