Commit
d9e3d2c4f1 ("efi/x86: Don't map the entire kernel text RW for mixed mode")
updated the code that creates the 1:1 memory mapping to use read-only
attributes for the 1:1 alias of the kernel's text and rodata sections, to
protect it from inadvertent modification. However, it failed to take into
account that the unused gap between text and rodata is given to the page
allocator for general use.
If the vmap'ed stack happens to be allocated from this region, any by-ref
output arguments passed to EFI runtime services that are allocated on the
stack (such as the 'datasize' argument taken by GetVariable() when invoked
from efivar_entry_size()) will be referenced via a read-only mapping,
resulting in a page fault if the EFI code tries to write to it:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 00000000386aae88
#PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x0003) - permissions violation

Let's fix this by remapping text and rodata individually, and leave the
gaps mapped read-write.
