Subject: LoongArch: Fix access error when read fault on a write-only VMA
From: Jiantao Shan <shanjiantao@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit efb44ff64c95340b06331fc48634b99efc9dd77c upstream.
As with most architectures, allow handling of read faults in VMAs that
have VM_WRITE but without VM_READ (WRITE implies READ).
Otherwise, reading before writing a write-only memory will error while
reading after writing everything is fine.
BTW, move the VM_EXEC judgement before VM_READ/VM_WRITE to make logic a
little clearer.
