Subject: [PATCH 5.5 220/367] xen/gntdev: Do not use mm notifiers with autotranslating guests

From: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@...cle.com>

commit 9293724192a73f49c722e9685d45649c6df67dfe upstream.

Commit d3eeb1d77c5d ("xen/gntdev: use mmu_interval_notifier_insert")
missed a test for use_ptemod when calling mmu_interval_read_begin(). Fix
that.

Fixes: d3eeb1d77c5d ("xen/gntdev: use mmu_interval_notifier_insert")
