x86/mm: Do not verify W^X at boot up
Adding on the kernel command line "ftrace=function" triggered:

This is because at boot up, kernel text is writable, and there's no
reason to do tricks to updated it. But the verifier does not
distinguish updates at boot up and at run time, and causes a warning at
time of boot.
Add a check for system_state == SYSTEM_BOOTING and allow it if that is
the case.
[ These SYSTEM_BOOTING special cases are all pretty horrid, but the x86
text_poke() code does some odd things at bootup, forcing this for now
