Subject: arm64: mm: use ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_WX instead of arch defined

Extract DEBUG_WX to mm/Kconfig.debug for shared use.  Change to use
ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_WX instead of DEBUG_WX defined by arch port.

-	---help---
-	  Generate a warning if any W+X mappings are found at boot.
-
-	  This is useful for discovering cases where the kernel is leaving
-	  W+X mappings after applying NX, as such mappings are a security risk.
-	  This check also includes UXN, which should be set on all kernel
-	  mappings.
-
-	  Look for a message in dmesg output like this:
-
-	    arm64/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.
-
-	  or like this, if the check failed:
-
-	    arm64/mm: Checked W+X mappings: FAILED, <N> W+X pages found.
-
-	  Note that even if the check fails, your kernel is possibly
-	  still fine, as W+X mappings are not a security hole in
-	  themselves, what they do is that they make the exploitation
-	  of other unfixed kernel bugs easier.
-
-	  There is no runtime or memory usage effect of this option
-	  once the kernel has booted up - it's a one time check.
-
-	  If in doubt, say "Y".
