We use pte_write() to check whethwer the pte entry is writable. This is
mostly used to later mark the pte read only if it is writable. The other
use of pte_write() is to check whether the pte_entry is writable so that
hardware page table entry can be marked accordingly. This is used in kvm
where we look at qemu page table entry and update hardware hash page table
for the guest with correct write enable bit.
With the above, for the first usage we should also check the savedwrite
bit so that we can correctly clear the savedwite bit. For the later, we
add a new variant __pte_write().
With this we can revert write_protect_page part of 595cd8f256 ("mm/ksm:
handle protnone saved writes when making page write protect"). But I left
it as it is as an example code for savedwrite check.
Fixes: c137a2757b ("powerpc/mm/autonuma: switch ppc64 to its own implementation of saved write")
