Subject[PATCH] uprobes: Refuse to insert a probe into MAP_SHARED vma
valid_vma() rejects the VM_SHARED vmas, but this still allows to insert
a probe into the MAP_SHARED but not VM_MAYWRITE vma.

Currently this is fine, such a mapping doesn't really differ from the
private read-only mmap except mprotect(PROT_WRITE) won't work. However,
get_user_pages(FOLL_WRITE | FOLL_FORCE) doesn't allow to COW in this
case, and it would be safer to follow the same conventions as mm even
if currently this happens to work.

After the recent cda540ace6a1 "mm: get_user_pages(write,force) refuse
to COW in shared areas" only uprobes can insert an anon page into the
shared file-backed area, lets stop this and change valid_vma() to check
VM_MAYSHARE instead.
