Subject: [PATCH v6 20/24] x86/ftrace: Use vmalloc special flag

From: Rick Edgecombe <rick.p.edgecombe@...el.com>

Use new flag VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS for handling freeing of special
permissioned memory in vmalloc and remove places where memory was set NX
and RW before freeing which is no longer needed.
