Subject: [PATCH 4.19 033/100] RDMA/mlx5: Do not allow the user to write to the clock page

From: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@...lanox.com>

commit c660133c339f9ab684fdf568c0d51b9ae5e86002 upstream.

The intent of this VMA was to be read-only from user space, but the
VM_MAYWRITE masking was missed, so mprotect could make it writable.

Fixes: 5c99eaecb1fc ("IB/mlx5: Mmap the HCA's clock info to user-space")
