power/mm: update pte_write and pte_wrprotect to handle savedwrite
We use pte_write() to check whethwer the pte entry is writable. This is mostly used to later mark the pte read only if it is writable. The other use of pte_write() is to check whether the pte_entry is writable so that hardware page table entry can be marked accordingly. This is used in kvm where we look at qemu page table entry and update hardware hash page table for the guest with correct write enable bit. With the above, for the first usage we should also check the savedwrite bit so that we can correctly clear the savedwite bit. For the later, we add a new variant __pte_write(). With this we can revert write_protect_page part of 595cd8f2 ("mm/ksm: handle protnone saved writes when making page write protect"). But I left it as it is as an example code for savedwrite check.
