lguest: Map switcher text R/O

Pavel noted that lguest maps the switcher code executable and
read-write.  This is a bad idea for any kernel text, but
particularly for text mapped at a fixed address.

Create two vmas, one for the text (PAGE_KERNEL_RX) and another
for the stacks (PAGE_KERNEL).  Use VM_NO_GUARD to map them
adjacent (as expected by the rest of the code).
