arm64: Implement arch-specific pte_access_permitted()
The generic pte_access_permitted() implementation only checks for pte_present() (together with the write permission where applicable). However, for both kernel ptes and PROT_NONE mappings pte_present() also returns true on arm64 even though such mappings are not user accessible. Additionally, arm64 now supports execute-only user permission (PROT_EXEC) which is implemented by clearing the PTE_USER bit. With this patch the arm64 implementation of pte_access_permitted() checks for the PTE_VALID and PTE_USER bits together with writable access if applicable.
