[PATCH] powerpc/hugetlb: fix page rights verification in gup_hugepte()

gup_hugepte() checks if pages are present and readable, and
when  'write' is set, also checks if the pages are writable.

Initially this was done by checking if _PAGE_PRESENT and
_PAGE_READ were set. In addition, _PAGE_WRITE was verified for write
accesses.

The problem is that we have to handle the three following cases:
1/ The target defines __PAGE_READ and __PAGE_WRITE
2/ The target defines __PAGE_RW
3/ The target defines __PAGE_RO

In case 1/, this is obvious
In case 2/, __PAGE_READ is defined as 0 and __PAGE_WRITE as __PAGE_RW
so it works as well.
But in case 3, __PAGE_RW is defined as 0, which means __PAGE_WRITE is 0
and then the test returns true (page writable) in all cases.

A first correction was attempted in commit 6b8cb66a6a7cc ("powerpc: Fix
usage of _PAGE_RO in hugepage"), but that fix is wrong:
instead of checking that the page is writable when write is requested,
it checks that the page is NOT writable when write is NOT requested.

This patch adds a new pte_read() helper to check whether a page is
readable or not. This avoids handling all possible cases in
gup_hugepte().

Then gup_hugepte() is modified to use pte_present(), pte_read()
and pte_write() instead of the raw flags.
