[PATCH] cxl: fix setting of _PAGE_USER bit when handling page faults

When handling page faults, cxl_handle_page_fault() checks whether the page
should be accessible by userspace and have its _PAGE_USER access bit set.
_PAGE_USER should be set if the context's kernel flag isn't set, or if the
page falls outside of kernel memory.

However, the check currently uses the wrong operator, causing it to always
evalute to true. As such, we always set the _PAGE_USER bit, even when it
should be restricted to the kernel.

Fix the check so that the _PAGE_USER bit is set only as intended.

userspace access")
