ARM: add DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX option to Kconfig

Now that all the page setting infrastructure is in place,
Add the DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX to the ARM debugging Kconfig.
When turned on, data sections for modules will be marked as NX
and read only sections will be marked as such.

---help---
This option helps catch unintended modifications to loadable
kernel module's text and read-only data. It also prevents execution
of module data. Such protection may interfere with run-time code
patching and dynamic kernel tracing - and they might also protect
against certain classes of kernel exploits.
If in doubt, say "N".
