parisc: Revise gateway LWS calls to probe user read access
We use load and stbys,e instructions to trigger memory reference
interruptions without writing to memory. Because of the way read
access support is implemented, read access interruptions are only
triggered at privilege levels 2 and 3. The kernel and gateway
page execute at privilege level 0, so this code never triggers
a read access interruption. Thus, it currently possible for user
code to execute a LWS compare and swap operation at an address
that is read protected at privilege level 3.
Fix this by probing read access rights at privilege level 3 and
branching to lws_fault if access isn't allowed.
