As on v1, I think that this should be generic across all architectures
with CONFIG_DEBUG_WX. Adding this only on arm64 under
CONFIG_PTDUMP_DEBUGFS (which does not generally imply a WX check)
doesn't seem right.

Maybe we need a new ARCH_HAS_CHECK_WX config to make that simpler, but
that seems simple to me.

Thanks,
Marm.
