[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 083/104] x86/mm: Set NX on gap between __ex_table and rodata

[Luis Henriques]

3.16.7-ckt19 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stephen Smalley <sds at tycho.nsa.gov>

commit ab76f7b4ab2397ffdd2f1eb07c55697d19991d10 upstream.

Unused space between the end of __ex_table and the start of
rodata can be left W+x in the kernel page tables.  Extend the
setting of the NX bit to cover this gap by starting from
text_end rather than rodata_start.
