powerpc/32s: Handle PROTFAULT in hash_page() also for CONFIG_PPC_KUAP



On hash 32 bits, handling minor protection faults like unsetting
dirty flag is heavy if done from the normal page_fault processing,
because it implies hash table software lookup for flushing the entry
and then a DSI is taken anyway to add the entry back.

When KUAP was implemented, as explained in commit a68c31fc
("powerpc/32s: Implement Kernel Userspace Access Protection"),
protection faults has been diverted from hash_page() because
hash_page() was not able to identify a KUAP fault.

Implement KUAP verification in hash_page(), by clearing write
permission when the access is a kernel access and Ks is 1.
This works regardless of the address because kernel segments always
have Ks set to 0 while user segments have Ks set to 0 only
when kernel write to userspace is granted.

Then protection faults can be handled by hash_page() even for KUAP.
