[PATCH] Treat ISI faults as read faults on classic 32-bit PowerPC

[Segher Boessenkool]

Some old software on ppc32 executes from pages it hasn't marked
executable.  Since "classic" hardware doesn't distinguish between
execute and read accesses, the do_page_fault() code shouldn't
either.  This makes glibc-2.2 work again on such hardware.

[Resend again, ozlabs' greylisting doesn't like me at all.]

Tested by Scott on 32-bit, glibc-2.2.5 and glibc-2.3.3 (no new
failures and problem solved), and by Johannes on his glibc-2.4
"---p" testcase.  Could use testing on ppc64 and BookE too, for
good measure.

This reverts the previous change and makes the bugfix behave
more like the arch/ppc code.
