I did a run of all the MM commits from 6.18 to today's linus, and this one
had a copy/paste error.   I'd normally just send a patch for this, but in
terms of showing the review output:

                                                   ^^^^^^^^^^

Should this be VM_MAYSHARE instead of VM_MAYEXEC? This appears to be a
copy-paste error that would cause Rust code using VmFlags::MAYSHARE to
get bit 6 (VM_MAYEXEC) instead of bit 7 (VM_MAYSHARE).

The pattern of the preceding lines shows each constant should reference
its matching flag:

    RUST_CONST_HELPER_VM_MAYREAD  = VM_MAYREAD
    RUST_CONST_HELPER_VM_MAYWRITE = VM_MAYWRITE
    RUST_CONST_HELPER_VM_MAYEXEC  = VM_MAYEXEC
    RUST_CONST_HELPER_VM_MAYSHARE = VM_MAYSHARE  <- expected
