x86, mm: Set NX across entire PMD at boot

commit 45e2a9d4701d8c624d4a4bcdd1084eae31e92f58 upstream.

When setting up permissions on kernel memory at boot, the end of the
PMD that was split from bss remained executable. It should be NX like
the rest. This performs a PMD alignment instead of a PAGE alignment to
get the correct span of memory.

Before:
---[ High Kernel Mapping ]---
...
0xffffffff8202d000-0xffffffff82200000  1868K     RW       GLB NX pte
0xffffffff82200000-0xffffffff82c00000    10M     RW   PSE GLB NX pmd
0xffffffff82c00000-0xffffffff82df5000  2004K     RW       GLB NX pte
0xffffffff82df5000-0xffffffff82e00000    44K     RW       GLB x  pte
0xffffffff82e00000-0xffffffffc0000000   978M                     pmd

After:
---[ High Kernel Mapping ]---
...
0xffffffff8202d000-0xffffffff82200000  1868K     RW       GLB NX pte
0xffffffff82200000-0xffffffff82e00000    12M     RW   PSE GLB NX pmd
0xffffffff82e00000-0xffffffffc0000000   978M                     pmd

[ tglx: Changed it to roundup(_brk_end, PMD_SIZE) and added a comment.
        We really should unmap the reminder along with the holes
        caused by init,initdata etc. but thats a different issue ]
