arm64: Update PTE_RDONLY in set_pte_at() for PROT_NONE permission
The set_pte_at() function must update the hardware PTE_RDONLY bit depending on the state of the PTE_WRITE and PTE_DIRTY bits of the given entry value. However, it currently only performs this for pte_valid() entries, ignoring PTE_PROT_NONE. The side-effect is that PROT_NONE mappings would not have the PTE_RDONLY bit set. Without CONFIG_ARM64_HW_AFDBM, this is not an issue since such PROT_NONE pages are not accessible anyway. With commit 2f4b829c625e ("arm64: Add support for hardware updates of the access and dirty pte bits"), the ptep_set_wrprotect() function was re-written to cope with automatic hardware updates of the dirty state. As an optimisation, only PTE_RDONLY is checked to assess the "dirty" status. Since set_pte_at() does not set this bit for PROT_NONE mappings, such pages may be considered "dirty" as a result of ptep_set_wrprotect(). This patch updates the pte_valid() check to pte_present() in set_pte_at(). It also adds PTE_PROT_NONE to the swap entry bits comment.
