Subject: [PATCH] arm64: Use proper memory type for kernel allocation
References: bsc#1215151
Patch-Mainline: no, it's a downstream fix based on Fedora/openSUSE grub2

Currently, the kernel pages are allocated with type EFI_LOADER_DATA.
While the vast majority of systems will happily execute code from those
pages (i.e. don't care about memory protection), the Microsoft Surface
Pro X stalls, as this memory is not designated as "executable".

Therefore, allocate the kernel pages as EFI_LOADER_CODE to request
memory that is actually executable.
