VM_MAYWRITE flag during initial memory mapping determines if already mmap()'ed
pages can be later remapped as writable ones through mprotect() call. To
prevent user application to rewrite contents of memory-mapped as read-only and
subsequently frozen BPF map, remove VM_MAYWRITE flag completely on initially
read-only mapping.
Alternatively, we could treat any memory-mapping on unfrozen map as writable
and bump writecnt instead. But there is little legitimate reason to map
BPF map as read-only and then re-mmap() it as writable through mprotect(),
instead of just mmap()'ing it as read/write from the very beginning.
Also, at the suggestion of Jann Horn, drop unnecessary refcounting in mmap
operations. We can just rely on VMA holding reference to BPF map's file
properly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
