[PATCH] spufs: always map local store non-guarded

[Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>]

When fixing spufs to map the 'mem' file backing store cacheable,
I incorrectly set the physical mapping to use both cache-inhibited
and guarded mapping, which resulted in a serious performance
degradation.

Accessing the real local store memory needs to be cache-inhibited,
in order to maintain data consistency, but since it is actual
RAM, there is no point in a guarded mapping.
