powerpc/mm: Fixup kernel read only mapping
With commit e58e87adc8bf9 ("powerpc/mm: Update _PAGE_KERNEL_RO") we
started using the ppp value 0b110 to map kernel readonly. But that
facility was only added as part of ISA 2.04. For earlier ISA version
only supported ppp bit value for readonly mapping is 0b011. (This
implies both user and kernel get mapped using the same ppp bit value for
readonly mapping.).
Update the code such that for earlier architecture version we use ppp
value 0b011 for readonly mapping. We don't differentiate between power5+
and power5 here and apply the new ppp bits only from power6 (ISA 2.05).
This keep the changes minimal.
