proc: put check_mem_permission after __get_free_page in mem_write

It whould be better if put check_mem_permission after __get_free_page in
mem_write, to be same as function mem_read.

Hugh Dickins explained the reason.

    check_mem_permission gets a reference to the mm.  If we __get_free_page
    after check_mem_permission, imagine what happens if the system is out
    of memory, and the mm we're looking at is selected for killing by the
    OOM killer: while we wait in __get_free_page for more memory, no memory
    is freed from the selected mm because it cannot reach exit_mmap while
    we hold that reference.
