Subject[patch 10/14] remap_file_pages protection support: fix get_user_pages() on VM_MANYPROTS vmas
From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>

*Untested patch* - I've not written a test case to verify functionality of
ptrace on VM_MANYPROTS area.

get_user_pages may well call __handle_mm_fault() wanting to override protections...
so in this case __handle_mm_fault() should still avoid checking VM access rights.

Also, get_user_pages() may give write faults on present readonly PTEs in
VM_MANYPROTS areas (think of PTRACE_POKETEXT), so we must still do do_wp_page
even on VM_MANYPROTS areas.

So, possibly use VM_MAYWRITE and/or VM_MAYREAD in the access_mask and check
VM_MANYPROTS in maybe_mkwrite_file (new variant of maybe_mkwrite).

API Note: there are many flags parameter which can be constructed but which
don't make any sense, but the code very freely interprets them too.
For instance VM_MAYREAD|VM_WRITE is interpreted as VM_MAYWRITE|VM_WRITE.

XXX: Todo: add checking to reject all meaningless flag combination.
