Subject: [PATCH 5.15 079/279] powerpc/8xx: Fix Oops with STRICT_KERNEL_RWX without DEBUG_RODATA_TEST

From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@...roup.eu>

[ Upstream commit c12ab8dbc492b992e1ea717db933cee568780c47 ]

Until now, all tests involving CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX were done with
DEBUG_RODATA_TEST to check the result. But now that
CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is selected by default, it came without
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA_TEST and led to the following Oops

0xc1285200 corresponds to 'system_state' global var that the kernel is trying to set to
SYSTEM_RUNNING. This var is above the RO/RW limit so it shouldn't Oops.

It oopses because the dirty bit is missing.
