ARM: 7500/1: io: avoid writeback addressing modes for __raw_ accessors

Data aborts taken to hyp mode do not provide a valid instruction
syndrome field in the HSR if the faulting instruction is a memory
access using a writeback addressing mode.

For hypervisors emulating MMIO accesses to virtual peripherals, taking
such an exception requires disassembling the faulting instruction in
order to determine the behaviour of the access. Since this requires
manually walking the two stages of translation, the world must be
stopped to prevent races against page aging in the guest, where the
first-stage translation is invalidated after the hypervisor has
translated to an IPA and the physical page is reused for something else.

This patch avoids taking this heavy performance penalty when running
Linux as a guest by ensuring that our I/O accessors do not make use of
writeback addressing modes.
