Early in the boot, when .rodata is still writable, we can poke swapper_pg_dir entries directly, and there is no need to go through the fixmap. After a future patch, we will enter the kernel with swapper_pg_dir already active, and early swapper_pg_dir updates for creating the fixmap page table hierarchy itself cannot go through the fixmap for obvious reaons. So let's keep track of whether rodata is writable, and update the descriptor directly in that case. As the same reasoning applies to early KASAN init, make the function noinstr as well.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
