There are tests in tools/testing/selftests/mm/protection_keys.c
test_kernel_gup_of_access_disabled_region etc, that explicitly check GUP is
affected by pkeys. So if we didn't modify pte_access_permitted() it would fail
the test and work differently than the other architectures. For
MTE/__sync_cache_and_tags, I think could add a pte_access_permitted_no_poe().

This would warn if you somehow had a CPU with FEAT_POE but not FEAT_PAN3. So I
don't really need the WARN() here, if the CPU supports FEAT_POE it should also
support FEAT_PAN3. Arm v8.7 made FEAT_PAN3 mandatory.

As I understand it X86 can either disable Read and Write or disable Write. No
way to disable execution.
The man page says:
PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS
Disable all data access to memory covered by the returned
protection key.
