[PATCH v4 5/9] mm/mmu_notifier: mmu_notifier_range_update_to_read_only() helper

From: Jérôme Glisse <jglisse at redhat.com>

Helper to test if a range is updated to read only (it is still valid
to read from the range). This is useful for device driver or anyone
who wish to optimize out update when they know that they already have
the range map read only.
