[PATCH RFP-V4 07/13] RFP prot support: enhance syscall interface

[Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso]

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>, Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@xxxxxxxx>

Enable the 'prot' parameter for shared-writable mappings (the ones which are
the primary target for remap_file_pages), without breaking up the vma.

This contains simply the changes to the syscall code, based on Ingo's patch.
Differently from his one, I've *not* added a new syscall, choosing to add a
new flag (MAP_CHGPROT) which the application must specify to get the new
behavior (prot != 0 is accepted and prot == 0 means PROT_NONE).

Upon Hugh's suggestion, simplify the permission checking on the VMA, reusing
mprotect()'s trick.
