Subject: [PATCH] [backport for 5.4] powerpc/603: Fix protection of user pages
 mapped with PROT_NONE

(cherry picked from commit c119565a15a628efdfa51352f9f6c5186e506a1c)

On book3s/32, page protection is defined by the PP bits in the PTE
which provide the following protection depending on the access
keys defined in the matching segment register:
- PP 00 means RW with key 0 and N/A with key 1.
- PP 01 means RW with key 0 and RO with key 1.
- PP 10 means RW with both key 0 and key 1.
- PP 11 means RO with both key 0 and key 1.

Since the implementation of kernel userspace access protection,
PP bits have been set as follows:
- PP00 for pages without _PAGE_USER
- PP01 for pages with _PAGE_USER and _PAGE_RW
- PP11 for pages with _PAGE_USER and without _PAGE_RW

For kernelspace segments, kernel accesses are performed with key 0
and user accesses are performed with key 1. As PP00 is used for
non _PAGE_USER pages, user can't access kernel pages not flagged
_PAGE_USER while kernel can.

For userspace segments, both kernel and user accesses are performed
with key 0, therefore pages not flagged _PAGE_USER are still
accessible to the user.

This shouldn't be an issue, because userspace is expected to be
accessible to the user. But unlike most other architectures, powerpc
implements PROT_NONE protection by removing _PAGE_USER flag instead of
flagging the page as not valid. This means that pages in userspace
that are not flagged _PAGE_USER shall remain inaccessible.

To get the expected behaviour, just mimic other architectures in the
TLB miss handler by checking _PAGE_USER permission on userspace
accesses as if it was the _PAGE_PRESENT bit.

Note that this problem only is only for 603 cores. The 604+ have
an hash table, and hash_page() function already implement the
verification of _PAGE_USER permission on userspace pages.
