[PATCH v2 2/3] mm: mprotect: preserve special page protection bits

[Peter Feiner]

We don't want to zap special page protection bits on mprotect.
Analogous to the bug fixed in c9d0bf241451a3ab7d02e1652c22b80cd7d93e8f
where vm_page_prot bits set by drivers were zapped when write
notifications were enabled on new VMAs.
