[PATCH RFC 25/43] x86/mm: Make the x86 GOT read-only

From: Hou Wenlong

The GOT is changed during early boot when relocations are applied. Make
it read-only directly. This table exists only for PIE binary. Since weak
symbol reference would always be GOT reference, there are 8 entries in
GOT, but only one entry for __fentry__() is in use. Other GOT
references have been optimized by linker.
