The local syzkaller first maps I/O address from /dev/mem to userspace,
overiding the stack vma with MAP_FIXED flag. As a result, when reading
/proc/$pid/environ, generic_access_phys() is called to access the region,
which triggers a PAN permission-check fault and causes a kernel access
fault.
The root cause is that generic_access_phys() passes a user pte to
ioremap_prot(), the user pte sets PTE_USER and PTE_NG bits. Consequently,
any subsequent kernel-mode access to the remapped address raises a fault.
To fix it, similar to ioremap_prot() in x86, use _PAGE_KERNEL as template,
and update PTE_WRITE and PTE_ATTRINDX according to the pgprot argument.
