[ARM] Improve non-executable support
Add support for detecting non-executable stack binaries, and adjust permissions to prevent execution from data and stack areas. Also, ensure that READ_IMPLIES_EXEC is enabled for older CPUs where that is true, and for any executable-stack binary. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
