[PATCH v1 RESEND 0/6] mm: (pte|pmd)_mkdirty() should not unconditionally allow for write access

[David Hildenbrand]

This is the follow-up on [1], adding selftests (testing for known issues
we added workarounds for and other issues that haven't been fixed yet),
fixing sparc64, reverting the workarounds, and perform one cleanup.

The patch from [1] was modified slightly (updated/extended patch
description, dropped one unnecessary NOP instruction from the ASM in
__pte_mkhwwrite()).

Retested on x86_64 and sparc64 (sun4u in QEMU).

I scanned most architectures to make sure their (pte|pmd)_mkdirty()
handling is correct. To be sure, we can run the selftests and find out if
other architectures are still affectes (loongarch was fixed recently as
well).

Based on master for now. I don't expect surprises regarding mm-tress, but
I can rebase if there are any problems.
