x86, mm: fix gup_pte_range() vs DAX mappings

Browse source 
commit ef947b2529 upstream.

gup_pte_range() fails to check pte_allows_gup() before translating a DAX
pte entry, pte_devmap(), to a page.  This allows writes to read-only
mappings, and bypasses the DAX cacheline dirty tracking due to missed
'mkwrite' faults.  The gup_huge_pmd() path and the gup_huge_pud() path
correctly check pte_allows_gup() before checking for _devmap() entries.

Fixes: 3565fce3a6 ("mm, x86: get_user_pages() for dax mappings")
