x86/mm: Inhibit _PAGE_NX changes from cpa_process_alias()

Browse source

There is a cludge in change_page_attr_set_clr() that inhibits
propagating NX changes to the aliases (directmap and highmap) -- this
is a cludge twofold:

 - it also inhibits the primary checks in __change_page_attr();
 - it hard depends on single bit changes.

The introduction of set_memory_rox() triggered this last issue for
clearing both _PAGE_RW and _PAGE_NX.

Explicitly ignore _PAGE_NX in cpa_process_alias() instead.
