RISC-V: Make mmap() with PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ
Commit 2139619bca ("riscv: mmap with PROT_WRITE but no PROT_READ is
invalid") made mmap() reject mappings with only PROT_WRITE set in an
attempt to fix an observed inconsistency in behavior when attempting
to read from a PROT_WRITE-only mapping. The root cause of this behavior
was actually that while RISC-V's protection_map maps VM_WRITE to
readable PTE permissions (since write-only PTEs are considered reserved
by the privileged spec), the page fault handler considered loads from
VM_WRITE-only VMAs illegal accesses. Fix the underlying cause by
handling faults in VM_WRITE-only VMAs (patch 1) and then re-enable
use of mmap(PROT_WRITE) (patch 2), making RISC-V's behavior consistent
with all other architectures that don't support write-only PTEs.
