arm64: mm: don't treat user cache maintenance faults as writes
commit db6f41063cbdb58b14846e600e6bc3f4e4c2e888 upstream. On arm64, cache maintenance faults appear as data aborts with the CM bit set in the ESR. The WnR bit, usually used to distinguish between faulting loads and stores, always reads as 1 and (slightly confusingly) the instructions are treated as reads by the architecture. This patch fixes our fault handling code to treat cache maintenance faults in the same way as loads.
