We can upgrade pte access (R -> RW transition) via mprotect. We need
to make sure we follow the recommended pte update sequence as outlined in
commit bd5050e38aec ("powerpc/mm/radix: Change pte relax sequence to handle nest MMU hang")
for such updates. This patch series do that.
Changes from V3:
* Build fix for x86
Changes from V2:
* Update commit message for patch 4
* use radix tlb flush routines directly.
Changes from V1:
* Restrict ths only for R->RW upgrade. We don't need to do this for Autonuma
* Restrict this only for radix translation mode.
