[ARM] 3030/2: fix permission check in the obscur cmpxchg syscall

Patch from Nicolas Pitre

Quoting RMK:

|pte_write() just says that the page _may_ be writable. It doesn't say
|that the MMU is programmed to allow writes. If pte_dirty() doesn't
|return true, that means that the page is _not_ writable from userspace.
|If you write to it from kernel mode (without using put_user) you'll
|bypass the MMU read-only protection and may end up writing to a page
|owned by two separate processes.
