KVM: PPC: Book3S: Make kvmppc_ld return a more accurate error indication



At present, kvmppc_ld calls kvmppc_xlate, and if kvmppc_xlate returns
any error indication, it returns -ENOENT, which is taken to mean an
HPTE not found error.  However, the error could have been a segment
found (no SLB entry) or a permission error.  Similarly,
kvmppc_pte_to_hva currently does permission checking, but any error
from it is taken by kvmppc_ld to mean that the access is an emulated
MMIO access.  Also, kvmppc_ld does no execute permission checking.

This fixes these problems by (a) returning any error from kvmppc_xlate
directly, (b) moving the permission check from kvmppc_pte_to_hva
into kvmppc_ld, and (c) adding an execute permission check to kvmppc_ld.

This is similar to what was done for kvmppc_st() by commit 82ff911317c3
("KVM: PPC: Deflect page write faults properly in kvmppc_st").
