Jiri Olsa reports slowdown of tracing_multi benchmark that allocates huge
number of trampolines [1].
The slowdown caused by extra protection changes in execmem_alloc_rw() and
execmem_free().
With ROX caches enabled, all execmem allocations except EXECMEM_MODULE_DATA
are ROX after the allocation. execmem_alloc_rw() temporarily sets them to
W+NX and execmem_free() resets them back to ROX.
The only user of bpf_jit_alloc_exec_rw() is x86::arch_bpf_trampoline_size()
that only needs a temporary writable buffer in the modules address space.
On x86 executable memory and module data are constrained to the same
address range, so x86::arch_bpf_trampoline_size() can directly use
execmem_alloc(EXECMEM_MODULE_DATA)
Replace the call to bpf_jit_alloc_exec_rw() with a call to
execmem_alloc(EXECMEM_MODULE_DATA) in x86::arch_bpf_trampoline_size() and
drop bpf_jit_alloc_exec_rw() helper.
