x86/mm: Always enable CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA and remove the Kconfig option

This removes the CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA option and makes it always enabled.

This simplifies the code and also makes it clearer that read-only mapped
memory is just as fundamental a security feature in kernel-space as it is
in user-space.
