[PATCH v2 31/37] powerpc/44x: Introduce _PAGE_READ and remove _PAGE_USER

44x MMU has 6 page protection bits:
- R, W, X for supervisor
- R, W, X for user

It means that it can support X without R.

To do that, _PAGE_READ flag is needed but there is no bit available
for it in PTE. On the other hand the only real use of _PAGE_USER is
to implement PAGE_NONE by clearing _PAGE_USER.

As _PAGE_NONE can also be implemented by clearing _PAGE_READ,
remove _PAGE_USER and add _PAGE_READ. In order to insert bits in
one go during TLB miss, move _PAGE_ACCESSED and put _PAGE_READ
just after _PAGE_DIRTY so that _PAGE_DIRTY is copied into SW and
_PAGE_READ into SR at once.

With that change, 44x now also honors execute-only protection.
