[PATCH] mm/vma: Append unlikely() while testing VMA access permissions

[Anshuman Khandual <anshuman.khandual@arm.com>]

It is unlikely that an inaccessible VMA without required permission flags
will get a page fault. Hence lets just append unlikely() directive to such
checks in order to improve performance while also standardizing it across
various platforms.

This patch applies on v5.6-rc3 along with the recent VMA series V2
(https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11399319/). This has only been
build tested for mips and m68k platforms.
