rS316761: Set the arm64 Execute-never bits in more places.
Summary

We need to set the Execute-never bits when mapping device memory
as the hardware may perform speculative instruction fetches.

Set the Privileged Execute-ever bit on userspace memory to stop
the kernel if it is tricked into executing it.
