[PATCH 2/2] um: Fix pte_read() and pte_exec() for kernel mappings

The pte_read() and pte_exec() helpers are only used during the TLB
sync to determine the read/exec permissions for mmap. However, for
kernel mappings, they will always return 0. This leads to kern_map()
having to unconditionally set the exec flag to 1 and the read flag
unexpectedly always being 0. Remove the unnecessary check for the
_PAGE_USER bit in these helpers to ensure that the kernel mapping
permissions can be correctly determined.
