Currently only get_user_pages_fast() can safely handle the writable gup case due to its use of pud_access_permitted() to check whether the pud entry is writable. In the gup slow path pud_write() is used instead of pud_access_permitted() and to date it has been unimplemented, just calls BUG_ON().

For now this just implements a simple check for the _PAGE_RW bit similar to pmd_write. However, this implies that the gup-slow-path check is missing the extra checks that the gup-fast-path performs with pud_access_permitted. Later patches will align all checks to use the 'access_permitted' helper if the architecture provides it. Note that the generic 'access_permitted' helper fallback is the simple _PAGE_RW check on architectures that do not define the 'access_permitted' helper(s).
