Subject: arm64: fix CONFIG_DEBUG_WX address reporting

From: Mark Rutland <[email protected]>

commit 1d08a044cf12aee37dfd54837558e3295287b343 upstream.

In ptdump_check_wx(), we pass walk_pgd() a start address of 0 (rather than VA_START) for the init_mm. This means that any reported W&X addresses are offset by VA_START, which is clearly wrong and can make them appear like userspace addresses.

Fix this by telling the ptdump code that we're walking init_mm starting at VA_START. We don't need to update the addr_markers, since these are still valid bounds regardless.
