[PATCH] ARM: ARMv5: make PTE_SMALL_AP_UNO_SRO work

On ARMv4/5 we have the SCTLR.S and SCTLR.R bits. We set the former which
is deprecated and has implementation defined behaviour on ARMv5. We
clear the latter which has the effect that AP=0b00 as used in PTE_SMALL_AP_UNO_SRO
means "no access".

Clear SCTLR.S and set SCTLR.R instead. With this AP=0b00 maps to
read-only access as intended.

Do not touch any of these bits for >= ARMv6 as both are reserved there.
