[PATCH] check_user_page_readable() deadlock fix

Fix bug identifued by Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>.

oprofile calls check_user_page_readable() from interrupt context, so we
deadlock over various VFS locks.

But check_user_page_readable() doesn't imply either a read or a write of the
page's contents.  Change __follow_page() so that check_user_page_readable()
can tell __follow_page() that we're not accessing the page's contents, and use
that info to avoid the troublesome lock-takings.

Also, make follow_page() inline for the single callsite in memory.c to save a
bit of stack space.
