[PATCH] vfio/cdx: prevent read-only region mappings from becoming writable

[Abdifatah Suruur]

vfio_cdx_mmap() rejects writable mappings of regions without the WRITE
flag, but leaves VM_MAYWRITE set.  Userspace can map such a region
read-only and then upgrade the mapping to writable with mprotect(),
writing to MMIO regions the device marks read-only.

Clear VM_MAYWRITE for regions without the WRITE flag, as i915 does for
its read-only objects and as fixed in drm/vc4 (CVE-2026-68445) and
drm/panthor (CVE-2024-53071) and ptp: vmclock (commit
a5edadbae57e2298a56cf7a4e774a027905a331f).
