mmu-hash*: Don't update PTE flags when permission is denied
BEHAVIOUR CHANGE
Currently if ppc_hash{32,64}_translate() finds a PTE matching the given
virtual address, it will always update the PTE's R & C (Referenced and
Changed) bits. This happens even if the PTE's permissions mean we are
about to deny the translation.
This is clearly a bug, although we get away with it because:
a) It will only incorrectly set, never reset the bits, which should not
cause guest correctness problems.
b) Linux guests never use the R & C bits anyway.
This patch fixes the behaviour, only updating R & C when access is granted
by the PTE.
