On powerpc, RODATA_TEST fails with message the following messages:
Freeing unused kernel memory: 528K
rodata_test: test data was not read only
This is because GCC allocates it to .data section:
c0695034 g O .data 00000004 rodata_test_data
Since commit 056b9d8a76 ("mm: remove rodata_test_data export, add
pr_fmt"), rodata_test_data is used only inside rodata_test.c By
declaring it static, it gets properly allocated into .rodata section
instead of .data:
c04df710 l O .rodata 00000004 rodata_test_data
Fixes: 056b9d8a76 ("mm: remove rodata_test_data export, add pr_fmt")

Since commit 3ad38ceb27 ("x86/mm: Remove CONFIG_DEBUG_NX_TEST"),
nothing is using the exported rodata_test_data variable, so drop the
export.
This additionally updates the pr_fmt to avoid redundant strings and
adjusts some whitespace.

This patch makes arch-independent testcases for RODATA. Both x86 and
x86_64 already have testcases for RODATA, But they are arch-specific
because using inline assembly directly.
And cacheflush.h is not a suitable location for rodata-test related
things. Since they were in cacheflush.h, If someone change the state of
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA_TEST, It cause overhead of kernel build.
To solve the above issues, write arch-independent testcases and move it
to shared location.
