Do we actually need this additional arch_vma_access_permitted() check?
The ESR should tell us if it was a POE fault. Permission overlay faults
have priority over the base permission faults, so we'd not need to fall
back to this additional checks. Well, see below, we could do something
slightly smarter here.

I can see x86 and powerpc have similar checks (though at a different
point under the mmap lock) but I'm not familiar with their exception
model, exception priorities.

Other than the vma_pkey() race, I'm more worried about the vma
completely disappearing, e.g. munmap() in another thread. We end up
dereferencing a free pointer here. We need to do this under the mmap
lock.

Since we need to do this check under the mmap lock, we could add an
additional check to see if the pkey fault we got was a racy and just
restart the instruction if it no longer faults according to
por_el0_allows_pkey(). However, the code below is too late in the fault
handling to be able to do much other than SIGSEGV.
