[ Upstream commit 3b0c0c922ff4be275a8beb87ce5657d16f355b54 ]

When CONFIG_ARM_LPAE is set, the PMD dump relies on the software
read-only bit to determine whether a page is writable. This
concealed a bug which left the kernel text section writable
(AP2=0) while marked read-only in the software bit.

In a kernel with the AP2 bug, the dump looks like this:

    ---[ Kernel Mapping ]---
    0xc0000000-0xc0200000           2M RW NX SHD
    0xc0200000-0xc0600000           4M ro x  SHD
    0xc0600000-0xc0800000           2M ro NX SHD
    0xc0800000-0xc4800000          64M RW NX SHD

The fix is to check that the software and hardware bits are both
set before displaying "ro". The dump then shows the true perms:

    ---[ Kernel Mapping ]---
    0xc0000000-0xc0200000           2M RW NX SHD
    0xc0200000-0xc0600000           4M RW x  SHD
    0xc0600000-0xc0800000           2M RW NX SHD
    0xc0800000-0xc4800000          64M RW NX SHD
