[PATCH 1/2] powerpc/mm/book3s54/pkeys: make pkey access check work on execute_only_key

pkey_access_permitted() should not check for pkey is available in UAMOR or not.
The kernel needs to do that check only while allocating keys. This also makes
sure execute_only_key which is marked as non-manageable via UAMOR gives the
right access check return w.r.t pkey_access_permitted().

This fix the page fault loop when using PROT_EXEC as below

addr = mmap(0, page_sz, PROT_EXEC, MAP_FILE | MAP_PRIVATE, fildes, 0);
x =  *addr);

Fixes: c46241a370a6 ("powerpc/pkeys: Check vma before returning key fault error to the user")
