The "is_exec" branch of the protection check in do_page_fault()
didn't do anything on 32-bit PowerPC.  So if a userland program
jumps to a page with Linux protection flags "---p", all the tests
happily fall through, and handle_mm_fault() is called, which in
turn calls handle_pte_fault(), which calls update_mmu_cache(),
which goes flush the dcache to a page with no access rights.

Boom.

This fixes it.
