Subject: [PATCH] use VM_READ/WRITE/EXEC to set vm_page_prot

When setup vm_page_prot, some code use 0x7 instead of  (VM_READ|VM_WRITE|VM_EXEC). It does works
well, but it will be better if we use the VM_READ/WRITE/EXEC MACRO :-)

This patch uses (VM_READ|VM_WRITE|VM_EXEC) to replace 0x7 in vm_page_prot setup.
