Subject: [PATCH 4.11 047/115] powerpc/spufs: Fix hash faults for kernel regions

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

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

From: Jeremy Kerr <jk@...abs.org>

commit d75e4919cc0b6fbcbc8d6654ef66d87a9dbf1526 upstream.

Commit ac29c64089b7 ("powerpc/mm: Replace _PAGE_USER with
_PAGE_PRIVILEGED") swapped _PAGE_USER for _PAGE_PRIVILEGED, and
introduced check_pte_access() which denied kernel access to
non-_PAGE_PRIVILEGED pages.

However, it didn't add _PAGE_PRIVILEGED to the hash fault handler
for spufs' kernel accesses, so the DMAs required to establish SPE
memory no longer work.

This change adds _PAGE_PRIVILEGED to the hash fault handler for
kernel accesses.

Fixes: ac29c64089b7 ("powerpc/mm: Replace _PAGE_USER with _PAGE_PRIVILEGED")
