x86/mm: Warn on W^X mappings

Warn on any residual W+X mappings after setting NX
if DEBUG_WX is enabled.  Introduce a separate
X86_PTDUMP_CORE config that enables the code for
dumping the page tables without enabling the debugfs
interface, so that DEBUG_WX can be enabled without
exposing the debugfs interface.  Switch EFI_PGT_DUMP
to using X86_PTDUMP_CORE so that it also does not require
enabling the debugfs interface.

On success it prints this to the kernel log:

  x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.

On failure it prints a warning and a count of the failed pages:

[ Improved the Kconfig help text and made the new option default-y
  if CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y, because it already found buggy mappings,
  so we really want people to have this on by default. ]
