[PATCH 1/2] x86, mm: fix gup_pte_range() vs DAX mappings

gup_pte_range() fails to check pte_allows_gup() before translating a DAX
pte entry, pte_devmap(), to a page. This allows writes to read-only
mappings, and bypasses the DAX cacheline dirty tracking due to missed
'mkwrite' faults. The gup_huge_pmd() path and the gup_huge_pud() path
correctly check pte_allows_gup() before checking for _devmap() entries.

Fixes: 3565fce3a659 ("mm, x86: get_user_pages() for dax mappings")
