Subject: [PATCH v4] livepatch: Cleanup module page permission changes
Calling set_memory_rw() and set_memory_ro() for every iteration of the
loop in klp_write_object_relocations() is messy, inefficient, and
error-prone.
Change all the read-only pages to read-write before the loop and convert
them back to read-only again afterwards.

Based on the following branches:
- git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching.git for-4.5/core
- git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux.git modules-next
- v4: rebase onto Chris's sympos changes
- v3: use new module_{disable,enable}_ro() functions (in linux-next)
