arm64: remove CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA feature
When CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA is enabled, kernel segments mapped with different permissions (r-x for .text, r-- for .rodata, rw- for .data, etc) are rounded up to 2 MiB so they can be mapped more efficiently. In particular, it permits the segments to be mapped using level 2 block entries when using 4k pages, which is expected to result in less TLB pressure. However, the mappings for the bulk of the kernel will use level 2 entries anyway, and the misaligned fringes are organized such that they can take advantage of the contiguous bit, and use far fewer level 3 entries than would be needed otherwise. This makes the value of this feature dubious at best, and since it is not enabled in defconfig or in the distro configs, it does not appear to be in wide use either. So let's just remove it.
