[PATCH] powerpc/futex: Fix incorrect user access blocking

The early versions of our kernel user access prevention (KUAP) were
written by Russell and Christophe, and didn't have separate
read/write access.

At some point I picked up the series and added the read/write access,
but I failed to update the usages in futex.h to correctly allow read
and write.

However we didn't notice because of another bug which was causing the
low-level code to always enable read and write. That bug was fixed
recently in commit 1d8f739b07bd ("powerpc/kuap: Fix set direction in
allow/prevent_user_access()").

futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() is passed the user address as %3 and
does:

  1:     lwarx   %1,  0, %3
         cmpw    0,  %1, %4
         bne-    3f
  2:     stwcx.  %5,  0, %3

Which clearly loads and stores from/to %3. The logic in
arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser() is similar, so fix both of them to use
allow_read_write_user().

Without this fix, and with PPC_KUAP_DEBUG=y, we see eg:
