powerpc: Implement __get_user_pages_fast()
Other architectures have a __get_user_pages_fast(), in addition to the regular get_user_pages_fast(), which doesn't call get_user_pages() on failure, and thus doesn't attempt to fault pages in or COW them. The generic KVM code uses __get_user_pages_fast() to detect whether a page for which we have only requested read access is actually writable. This provides an implementation of __get_user_pages_fast() by splitting the existing get_user_pages_fast() in two. With this, the generic KVM code will get the right answer instead of always considering such pages non-writable.
