Subject: [PATCH v3 6/6] ARM: mm: Fix PXN process with LPAE feature

When user code execution with privilege mode, it will lead to
infinite loop in the page fault handler if ARM_LPAE enabled,

The issue could be reproduced with
  "echo EXEC_USERSPACE > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT"

As Permission fault shows in ARM spec,
  IFSR format when using the Short-descriptor translation table format
    Permission fault:       01101 First level      01111 Second level
  IFSR format when using the Long-descriptor translation table format
    Permission fault:       0011LL LL bits indicate levelb.

Add is_permission_fault() function to check permission fault and die
if permission fault occurred under instruction fault in do_page_fault().

Fixes: 1d4d37159d01 ("ARM: 8235/1: Support for the PXN CPU feature on ARMv7")
