[PATCH v2 1/2] powerpc/book3s/hash: Drop _PAGE_PRIVILEGED from PAGE_NONE

From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V (IBM)" <aneesh.kumar at kernel.org>

There used to be a dependency on _PAGE_PRIVILEGED with pte_savedwrite.
But that got dropped by
commit 6a56ccbcf6c6 ("mm/autonuma: use can_change_(pte|pmd)_writable() to replace savedwrite")

With the change in this patch numa fault pte (pte_protnone()) gets mapped as regular user pte
with RWX cleared (no-access) whereas earlier it used to be mapped _PAGE_PRIVILEGED.

Hash fault handling code gets some WARN_ON added in this patch because
those functions are not expected to get called with _PAGE_READ cleared.
commit 18061c17c8ec ("powerpc/mm: Update PROTFAULT handling in the page
fault path") explains the details.
