[RFC PATCH v2 17/19] heki: x86: Update permissions counters during text patching

From: Madhavan T. Venkataraman <madvenka at linux.microsoft.com>

X86 uses a function called __text_poke() to modify executable code. This
patching function is used by many features such as KProbes and FTrace.

Update the permissions counters for the text page so that write
permissions can be temporarily established in the EPT to modify the
instructions in that page.
