Subject: [PATCH 5.5 084/367] powerpc/ptdump: Fix W+X verification

From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@....fr>

commit d80ae83f1f932ab7af47b54d0d3bef4f4dba489f upstream.

Verification cannot rely on simple bit checking because on some
platforms PAGE_RW is 0, checking that a page is not W means
checking that PAGE_RO is set instead of checking that PAGE_RW
is not set.

Use pte helpers instead of checking bits.

Fixes: 453d87f6a8ae ("powerpc/mm: Warn if W+X pages found on boot")
