[PATCH 4.8 11/33] device-dax: fix private mapping restriction, permit read-only

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 325896ffdf90f7cbd59fb873b7ba20d60d1ddf3c upstream.

Hugh notes in response to commit 4cb19355ea19 "device-dax: fail all
private mapping attempts":

  "I think that is more restrictive than you intended: haven't tried, but I
  believe it rejects a PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, O_RDONLY fd mmap, leaving no
  way to mmap /dev/dax without write permission to it."

Indeed it does restrict read-only mappings, switch to checking
VM_MAYSHARE, not VM_SHARED.
