Currently code that wants to use set_memory_ro() etc, needs to include
asm/set_memory.h, which doesn't exist on all arches. Some code knows
it only builds on arches which have the header, other code guards the
inclusion with an #ifdef, neither is ideal.

So create linux/set_memory.h. This always exists, so users don't need
an #ifdef just to include the header.

When CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_MEMORY=y it includes asm/set_memory.h,
otherwise it provides empty non-failing implementations.

Does this look OK to people? If so it would be great if someone, Kees?,
Andrew?, could pick up patch 1 (it's a nop by itself) and then we can send the
conversions separately later in the merge window?

cheers

Looks good to me, thanks!

I'm fine if Andrew or Kees picks up the bpf patch as well, I think
there shouldn't be any conflict with net-next on this one (and even
if so, then looks trivial to resolve).

I nominate Andrew. ;) This should go in early in the merge window and
the users can go late in the window. If Andrew has enough to do, I can
carry it too; just say the word.

This is a sane addition and allows for lines-of-code reduction in a
few places. Thanks!

Andrew's picked them up in mmotm, thanks everyone.
