Pull arm64 fix from Will Deacon:
 "Fix pte_same() to avoid getting stuck on write fault.

  This single arm64 fix is a revert of 747a70e60b72 ("arm64: Fix
  copy-on-write referencing in HugeTLB"), not because that patch was
  wrong, but because it was broken by aa57157be69f ("arm64: Ensure
  VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED ptes are clean by default") which we merged in
  -rc6.

  We spotted the issue in Android (AOSP), where one of the JIT threads
  gets stuck on a write fault during boot because the faulting pte is
  marked as PTE_DIRTY | PTE_WRITE | PTE_RDONLY and the fault handler
  decides that there's nothing to do thanks to pte_same() masking out
  PTE_RDONLY.

  Thanks to John Stultz for reporting this and testing this so quickly,
  and to Steve Capper for confirming that the HugeTLB tests continue to
  pass"
