It would be good if the commit message could explain the problem more
thoroughly, e.g.

| When we added KFENCE support for arm64, we intended that it would
| force the entire linear map to be mapped at page granularity, but we
| only enforced this in arch_add_memory() and not in map_mem(), so
| memory mapped at boot time can be mapped at a larger granularity.
|
| When booting a kernel with KFENCE=y and RODATA_FULL=n, this results in
| the following WARNING at boot:
|
| < warning here >

With that:
