x86/mm: Consider effective protection attributes in W+X check
Using just the leaf page table entry flags would cause a false warning in case _PAGE_RW is clear or _PAGE_NX is set in a higher level entry. Hand through both the current entry's flags as well as the accumulated effective value (the latter as pgprotval_t instead of pgprot_t, as it's not an actual entry's value). This in particular eliminates the false W+X warning when running under Xen, as commit: 2cc42bac1c ("x86-64/Xen: eliminate W+X mappings") had to make the necessary adjustment in L2 rather than L1 (the reason is explained there). I.e. _PAGE_RW is clear there in L1, but _PAGE_NX is set in L2.
