ARM: 9131/1: mm: Fix PXN process with LPAE feature
When user code execution with privilege mode, it will lead to infinite loop in the page fault handler if ARM_LPAE enabled, The issue could be reproduced with "echo EXEC_USERSPACE > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT" As Permission fault shows in ARM spec, IFSR format when using the Short-descriptor translation table format Permission fault: 01101 First level 01111 Second level IFSR format when using the Long-descriptor translation table format Permission fault: 0011LL LL bits indicate levelb. Add is_permission_fault() function to check permission fault and die if permission fault occurred under instruction fault in do_page_fault().
