arm64: mm: Rework the 'rodata=' options



As per admin guide documentation, "rodata=on" should be the default on
platforms. Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt describes
these options as

   rodata=         [KNL,EARLY]
           on      Mark read-only kernel memory as read-only (default).
           off     Leave read-only kernel memory writable for debugging.
           full    Mark read-only kernel memory and aliases as read-only
                   [arm64]

But on arm64 platform, RODATA_FULL_DEFAULT_ENABLED is enabled by default,
so "rodata=full" is the default instead.

For parity with other architectures, namely x86, rework 'rodata=on' to
match the current "full" behaviour and replace 'rodata=full' with a new
'rodata=noalias' option which retains writable aliases in the direct map
for memory regions outside of the kernel image.
