[PATCH] ARM/arm64: KVM: fix use of WnR bit in kvm_is_write_fault()

The ISS encoding for an exception from a Data Abort has a WnR
bit[6] that indicates whether the Data Abort was caused by a
read or a write instruction. While there are several fields
in the encoding that are only valid if the ISV bit[24] is set,
WnR is not one of them, so we can read it unconditionally.

This fixes an issue I observed with UEFI running under QEMU/KVM using
NOR flash emulation and the upcoming KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM support, where
NOR flash reads were mistaken for NOR flash writes, resulting in all read
accesses to go through the MMIO emulation layer.
