Revert ("ArmVirtPkg: make EFI_LOADER_DATA non-executable") from edk2: tianocore/edk2@2997ae3 this commit breaks secure boot completely and also affects non-secure boot systems

Old shim, grub2 versions, linux kernel versions are not compatible with this feature and effectively it breaks almost everything on arm64.

Fixes canonical/lxd#12211
