Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ima: verify mprotect change is consistent with mmap policy

IMA can be configured to measure and appraise a file's integrity being
mmap'ed execute.  Files can be mmap'ed read/write and later changed to
execute to circumvent IMA's mmap measurement and appraisal policy rules.

To prevent this from happening, this patch similarly calls
ima_file_mmap() for mprotect changes.
