[PATCH] update_mmu_cache: Don't dcbst non-readable pages.

[Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>]

Currently, update_mmu_cache will crash if given a no-access PTE.  There's no
need to synchronize dcache/icache unless it's an exec mapping -- however,
due to the existence of older glibc versions that execute out of a
read-but-no-exec page, readability is tested instead.

This assumes no exec-only mappings; if such mappings become supported, they
will need to go through the kmap_atomic() version of dcache/icache
synchronization.
