Some kernels have W^X mitigation, which means they won't execute memory
blocks if that memory block is also writable or ever was writable. This
patch enables CRIU to run on such kernels.
1. Align .data section to a page.
2. mmap a memory block for parasite as RX.
3. mprotect everything after .text as RW.

Previously, __export_parasite_cmd was located in parasite-head.S, and
__export_parasite_args located exactly at the end of the parasite blob.
This is not ideal for various reasons:
1) These two variables work together. It would be preferrable to have
them in the same location
2) This prevent us from allocating another section betweeen the parasite
blob and the args area. We'll need this to allocate a GOT table
This commit changes the allocation of these symbols from assembly/linker
script to a C file.
Moreover, the assembly entry points that invoke parasite_service()
prepares arguments with hand crafted assembly. This is unecessary.
This commit rewrite this logic with regular C code.
Note: if it wasn't for the x86 compat mode, we could remove all
parasite-head.S files and directly jump to parasite_service() via
ptrace. An int3 architecture specific equivalent could be called at the
end of parasite_service() with an inline asm statement.

This patch only adds the support but does not enable it for building.
