__kernel_map_pages() on arm64 will also bail out if rodata_full is
false:

void __kernel_map_pages(struct page *page, int numpages, int enable)
{
	if (!debug_pagealloc_enabled() && !rodata_full)
		return;

	set_memory_valid((unsigned long)page_address(page), numpages, enable);
}

So using set_direct_map() to map back pages removed from the direct map
with __kernel_map_pages() seems safe to me.
