[PATCH 3/3] powerpc/mm/ Add proper pte access check helper

pte_access_premitted get called in get_user_pages_fast path. If we have marked
the pte PROT_NONE, we should not allow a read access on the address. With
the current implementation we are not checking the READ and only check for
WRITE. This is needed on archs like ppc64 that implement PROT_NONE using
_PAGE_USER access instead of _PAGE_PRESENT. Also add pte_user check just to make sure
we are not accessing kernel mapping.

Even though there is code duplication, keeping the low level pte accessors
different for different platforms helps in code readability.
