arm64: Fix text patching logic when using fixmap
Patch 2f896d586610 ("arm64: use fixmap for text patching") changed
the way we patch the kernel text, using a fixmap when the kernel or
modules are flagged as read only.
Unfortunately, a flaw in the logic makes it fall over when patching
modules without CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX enabled:

This is triggered by the use of virt_to_page() on a module address,
which ends to pointing to Nowhereland if you're lucky, or corrupt
your precious data if not.
This patch fixes the logic by mimicking what is done on arm:
- If we're patching a module and CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX is set,
use vmalloc_to_page().
- If we're patching the kernel and CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set,
use virt_to_page().
- Otherwise, use the provided address, as we can write to it directly.
Tested on 4.0-rc1 as a KVM guest.
