From: Jiantao Shan <shanjiantao@loongson.cn>

As with most architectures, allow handling of read faults in VMAs that
have VM_WRITE but without VM_READ (WRITE implies READ).

Otherwise, reading before writing a write-only memory will error while
reading after writing everything is fine.

BTW, move the VM_EXEC judgement before VM_READ/VM_WRITE to make logic a
little clearer.

…

Will the tag “Fixes” become relevant here?
