[Blackfin] arch: This allows XIP to work with FD-PIC.

Previously, init failed to do anything meaningful;
it turns out that the reason is that FD-PIC has a readonly data
section which can be located in the XIP filesystem, and various address checks
in the kernel reject such addresses for syscall arguments.  Hence, init's
  execve ("/bin/sh", ...)
failed with error code EFAULT.

There's room for improvement here: in case people want to have filesystems
on flash rather than in main memory, _access_ok should be modified to
allow this.

This bug fix is also dedicated to Michael Hennerich.
