Describe the Bug

If you use an account that is allowed to view revisions but does not have the permission to delete revisions then attempt to delete a revision, you will be knocked back to the homepage.

This isn't that big of a deal but it is quite a shock from a user standpoint. Ideally you just get a message that says you don't have permission and then does nothing.

Steps to Reproduce

Have a role that can read/view a book/shelf/whatever
Have that same role not able to delete entity from step 1
Be signed in as a user with the above role properties
Look at revisions for page.
Attempt to delete a revision.

Expected Behaviour

Just a "No permission to do that" error. NOT a kickback to the homepage.
