[PATCH v3 1/2] riscv: Make VM_WRITE imply VM_READ

[Andrew Bresticker]

RISC-V does not presently have write-only mappings as that PTE bit pattern
is considered reserved in the privileged spec, so allow handling of read
faults in VMAs that have VM_WRITE without VM_READ in order to be consistent
with other architectures that have similar limitations.
