Subject: [ 04/33] arm64: mm: only wrprotect clean ptes if they are present

3.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@....com>

commit 02522463c84748b3b8ad770f9424bcfa70a5b4c4 upstream.

Marking non-present ptes as read-only can corrupt file ptes, breaking
things like swap and file mappings.

This patch ensures that we only manipulate user pte bits when the pte
is marked present.
