arm64: cpufeature: Move arm64_use_ng_mappings to the .data section to prevent wrong idmap generation
The PTE_MAYBE_NG macro sets the nG page table bit according to the value
of "arm64_use_ng_mappings". This variable is currently placed in the
.bss section. create_init_idmap() is called before the .bss section
initialisation which is done in early_map_kernel(). Therefore,
data/test_prot in create_init_idmap() could be set incorrectly through
the PAGE_KERNEL -> PROT_DEFAULT -> PTE_MAYBE_NG macros.

ffff800082f242a8 g O .bss 0000000000000001 arm64_use_ng_mappings
The create_init_idmap() function disassembly compiled with llvm-21:

Note (1) is loading the arm64_use_ng_mappings value in w8 and (2) is set
the text or data prot with the w8 value to set PTE_NG bit. If the .bss
section isn't initialized, x8 could include a garbage value and generate
an incorrect mapping.
Annotate arm64_use_ng_mappings as __read_mostly so that it is placed in
the .data section.
