[RFC PATCH 3/3] mm: perform the mapping_map_writable() check after call_mmap()

[Lorenzo Stoakes]

In order for a F_SEAL_WRITE sealed memfd mapping to have an opportunity to
clear VM_MAYWRITE, we must be able to invoke the appropriate vm_ops->mmap()
handler to do so. We would otherwise fail the mapping_map_writable() check
before we had the opportunity to avoid it.

This patch moves this check after the call_mmap() invocation. Only memfd
actively denies write access causing a potential failure here (in
memfd_add_seals()), so there should be no impact on non-memfd cases.

This patch makes the userland-visible change that MAP_SHARED, PROT_READ
mappings of an F_SEAL_WRITE sealed memfd mapping will now succeed.
