x86/mm: Do not forbid _PAGE_RW before init for __ro_after_init

__ro_after_init data gets stuck in the .rodata section.  That's normally
fine because the kernel itself manages the R/W properties.

But, if we run __change_page_attr() on an area which is __ro_after_init,
the .rodata checks will trigger and force the area to be immediately
read-only, even if it is early-ish in boot.  This caused problems when
trying to clear the _PAGE_GLOBAL bit for these area in the PTI code:
it cleared _PAGE_GLOBAL like I asked, but also took it up on itself
to clear _PAGE_RW.  The kernel then oopses the next time it wrote to
a __ro_after_init data structure.

To fix this, add the kernel_set_to_readonly check, just like we have
for kernel text, just a few lines below in this function.
