Lowmem is currently mapped with sections (1MB/2MB) whenever
possible due to TLB performance boosts. Sections cannot easily
be changed at runtime however which makes implementing certain
features annoying. Add an option to map lowmem with 4K patches.
This is intended to be used as a debugging feature and should
NOT be used for performance testing.

The set_memory_* functions currently only support module
addresses. The addresses are validated using is_module_addr.
That function is special though and relies on internal state
in the module subsystem to work properly. At the time of
module initialization and calling set_memory_*, it's too early
for is_module_addr to work properly so it always returns
false. Rather than be subject to the whims of the module state,
just bounds check against the module virtual address range.

set_memory_* functions have same implementation
except memory attribute.
This patch makes to use common function for these, and pull out
the functions into arch/arm/mm/pageattr.c like arm64 did.
It will reduce code size and enhance the readability.
