Subject: [PATCH] arm64: kprobes: call set_memory_rox() for kprobe page

The kprobe page is allocated by execmem allocator with ROX permission. It needs to call set_memory_rox() to set proper permission for the direct map too. It was missed.

Fixes 10d5e97c1bf8 ("arm64: use PAGE_KERNEL_ROX directly in alloc_insn_page")
