Dan Williams 1501899a89 mm: fix device-dax pud write-faults triggered by get_user_pages()
Currently only get_user_pages_fast() can safely handle the writable gup
case due to its use of pud_access_permitted() to check whether the pud
entry is writable.  In the gup slow path pud_write() is used instead of
pud_access_permitted() and to date it has been unimplemented, just calls
BUG_ON().

    kernel BUG at ./include/linux/hugetlb.h:244!
    [..]
    RIP: 0010:follow_devmap_pud+0x482/0x490
    [..]
    Call Trace:
     follow_page_mask+0x28c/0x6e0
     __get_user_pages+0xe4/0x6c0

     nfs_file_read+0x90/0xc0

For now this just implements a simple check for the _PAGE_RW bit similar
to pmd_write.  However, this implies that the gup-slow-path check is
missing the extra checks that the gup-fast-path performs with
pud_access_permitted.  Later patches will align all checks to use the
'access_permitted' helper if the architecture provides it.

Note that the generic 'access_permitted' helper fallback is the simple
_PAGE_RW check on architectures that do not define the
'access_permitted' helper(s).
