Subject: [PATCH 4.14 11/50] arm64: pgtable: Ensure dirty bit is preserved across pte_wrprotect()

From: Will Deacon <will@...nel.org>

commit ff1712f953e27f0b0718762ec17d0adb15c9fd0b upstream.

With hardware dirty bit management, calling pte_wrprotect() on a writable,
dirty PTE will lose the dirty state and return a read-only, clean entry.

Move the logic from ptep_set_wrprotect() into pte_wrprotect() to ensure that
the dirty bit is preserved for writable entries, as this is required for
soft-dirty bit management if we enable it in the future.
