x86_64, cpa: Use only text section in set_kernel_text_rw/ro
set_kernel_text_rw()/set_kernel_text_ro() are marking pages
starting from _text to __start_rodata as RW or RO.
With CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA, there might be free pages (associated
with padding the sections to 2MB large page boundary) between
text and rodata sections that are given back to page allocator.
So we should use only use the start (__text) and end
(__stop___ex_table) of the text section in
set_kernel_text_rw()/set_kernel_text_ro().
