machine_kexec() need to set rw permission in text and rodata sections
to assign some variables (e.g. kexec_start_address). To do that at
the end (after flushing pdm in memory, inv D-Cache, etc.) it needs to
invalidate TLB [section] entries.

If during the TLB invalidation an interrupt occours, which might cause
a context switch, there is the risk to inject invalid TLBs, with ro
permissions.

When trying to assign .text labels, this lead to the following issue:

"Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address <valid_addr>"

with FSR 0x80d.
