[SRU][B/aws, F/aws, G/aws, H/aws][PATCH 1/1] arm64: pgtable: Ensure dirty bit is preserved across pte_wrprotect()

From: Will Deacon <will at kernel.org>

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1908503

With hardware dirty bit management, calling pte_wrprotect() on a writable,
dirty PTE will lose the dirty state and return a read-only, clean entry.

Move the logic from ptep_set_wrprotect() into pte_wrprotect() to ensure that
the dirty bit is preserved for writable entries, as this is required for
soft-dirty bit management if we enable it in the future.
