mm/memory.c: Add memory read privilege on page fault handling
Here add pte_sw_mkyoung function to make page readable on MIPS platform during page fault handling. This patch improves page fault latency about 10% on my MIPS machine with lmbench lat_pagefault case. It is noop function on other arches, there is no negative influence on those architectures.
