ARM: 7985/1: mm: implement pte_accessible for faulting mappings
The pte_accessible macro can be used to identify page table entries capable of being cached by a TLB. In principle, this differs from pte_present, since PROT_NONE mappings are mapped using invalid entries identified as present and ptes designated as `old' can use either invalid entries or those with the access flag cleared (guaranteed not to be in the TLB). However, there is a race to take care of, as described in 20841405 ("mm: fix TLB flush race between migration, and change_protection_range"), between a page being migrated and mprotected at the same time. In this case, we can check whether a TLB invalidation is pending for the mm and if so, temporarily consider PROT_NONE mappings as valid. This patch implements a quick pte_accessible macro for ARM by simply checking if the pte is valid/present depending on the mm. For classic MMU, these checks are identical and will generate some false positives for PROT_NONE mappings, but this is better than the current asm-generic definition of ((void)(pte),1). Finally, pte_present_user is moved to use pte_valid (and renamed appropriately) since we don't care about cache flushing for faulting mappings.
