Subject: [RFC PATCH] arch: arm64: try to use PTE_CONT when change page attr

From: Zhaoyang Huang <zhaoyang.huang@...soc.com>

kernel will use the min granularity when rodata_full enabled which
make TLB pressure high. Furthermore, there is no PTE_CONT applied.
Try to improve these a little by apply PTE_CONT when change page's
attr.
