x86/mm: Unexport set_memory_ro() and set_memory_rw()
This effectively unexports set_memory_ro() and set_memory_rw()
functions, and thus reverts:
a03352d2c1dc ("x86: export set_memory_ro and set_memory_rw").
They have been introduced for debugging purposes in e1000e, but
no module user is in mainline kernel (anymore?) and we
explicitly do not want modules to use these functions, as they
i.e. protect eBPF (interpreted & JIT'ed) images from malicious
modifications or bugs.
Outside of eBPF scope, I believe also other set_memory_*()
functions should be unexported on x86 for modules.
