[PATCH V2 06/68] powerpc/mm/subpage: Clear RWX bit to indicate no access

[Aneesh Kumar K.V]

Subpage protection used to depend on _PAGE_USER bit to implement no
access mode. This patch switch that to use _PAGE_RWX. We clear READ,
Write and Execute access from pte instead of clearing _PAGE_USER now.
This was done so that we can switch to _PAGE_PRIVILEGED in later patch.
subpage_protection() returns pte bits that need to be cleared.
Instead of updating the interface to handle no-access in a separate way,
it appears simple to clear RWX acecss to indicate no access.

We still don't insert hash pte for no access implied by !_PAGE_RWX.
Hence we should not get PROT_FAULT with change.
