Pull MIPS fixes from Ralf Baechle:
 "Another round of MIPS fixes for 4.2.  No area does particularly stand
  out but we have a two unpleasant ones:

   - Kernel ptes are marked with a global bit which allows the kernel to
     share kernel TLB entries between all processes.  For this to work
     both entries of an adjacent even/odd pte pair need to have the
     global bit set.  There has been a subtle race in setting the other
     entry's global bit since ~ 2000 but it take particularly
     pathological workloads that essentially do mostly vmalloc/vfree to
     trigger this.

     This pull request fixes the 64-bit case but leaves the case of 32
     bit CPUs with 64 bit ptes unsolved for now.  The unfixed cases
     affect hardware that is not available in the field yet.

   - Instruction emulation requires loading instructions from user space
     but the current fast but simplistic approach will fail on pages
     that are PROT_EXEC but !PROT_READ.  For this reason we temporarily
     do not permit this permission and will map pages with PROT_EXEC |
     PROT_READ.

  The remainder of this pull request is more or less across the field
  and the short log explains them well"
