[PATCH v3 3/3] mm: enforce the mapping_map_writable() check after call_mmap()

[Lorenzo Stoakes]

In order for an F_SEAL_WRITE sealed memfd mapping to have an opportunity to
clear VM_MAYWRITE in seal_check_write() we must be able to invoke either
the shmem_mmap() or hugetlbfs_file_mmap() f_ops->mmap() handler to do so.

We would otherwise fail the mapping_map_writable() check before we had
the opportunity to clear VM_MAYWRITE.

However, the existing logic in mmap_region() performs this check BEFORE
calling call_mmap() (which invokes file->f_ops->mmap()). We must enforce
this check AFTER the function call.

In order to avoid any risk of breaking call_mmap() handlers which assume
this will have been done first, we continue to mark the file writable
first, simply deferring enforcement of it failing until afterwards.

This enables mmap(..., PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0) mappings for memfd's
sealed via F_SEAL_WRITE to succeed, whereas previously they were not
permitted.
