Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon:
 "The main changes are a fix to the way in which we manage the access
  flag setting for mappings using the contiguous bit and a fix for a
  hang on the kexec/hibernation path.

  Summary:

   - Fix kexec/hibernation hang due to bogus read-only mappings

   - Fix sparse warnings in our cmpxchg() implementation

   - Prevent runtime-const being used in modules, just like x86

   - Fix broken elision of access flag modifications for contiguous
     entries on systems without support for hardware updates

   - Fix a broken SVE selftest that was testing the wrong instruction"
