Subject should have "on DEBUG_PAGEALLOC" ?

The design of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC presumes that __kernel_map_pages() must never
fail. With this assumption is wouldn't be safe to allow general usage of
this function.

Moreover, some architectures that implement __kernel_map_pages() have this
function guarded by #ifdef DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and some refuse to map/unmap
pages when page allocation debugging is disabled at runtime.

As all the users of __kernel_map_pages() were converted to use
debug_pagealloc_map_pages() it is safe to make it available only when
DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is set.

I don't understand these two hunks. Previous patch calls this for
hibernation when CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP, which is true for arm64.
Why suddenly this starts to depend on debug_pagealloc_enabled()?
I was confused about this for quite a long :)

On arm64 the changes to direct^w linear map are allowed when 

	debug_page_alloc() || rodata_full

In hibernation we essentially have now

	if (1)
		set_direct_map(something)
	else
		debug_page_alloc_map()

With debug_pagealloc enabled but with rodata_full disabled arm64
versions of set_direct_map_*() will become a nop, so a page that was
unmapped by debug_pagealloc() will not be mapped back.

I'm still puzzled how hibernation might ever need to save a free page,
but that's another story.
