arm64: pageattr: Explicitly bail out when changing permissions for vmalloc_huge mappings
arm64 uses apply_to_page_range to change permissions for kernel vmalloc mappings,
which does not support changing permissions for block mappings. This function
will change permissions until it encounters a block mapping, and will bail
out with a warning. Since there are no reports of this triggering, it
implies that there are currently no cases of code doing a vmalloc_huge()
followed by partial permission change. But this is a footgun waiting to
go off, so let's detect it early and avoid the possibility of permissions
in an intermediate state. So, explicitly disallow changing permissions
for VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP mappings.
