[PATCH 3.16 116/212] drivers: hv: Turn off write permission on the hypercall page

[Ben Hutchings]

3.16.44-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: "K. Y. Srinivasan" <kys@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 372b1e91343e657a7cc5e2e2bcecd5140ac28119 upstream.

The hypercall page only needs to be executable but currently it is setup to
be writable as well. Fix the issue.
