Subject: [PATCH 4.9 025/159] usb: mon: make mmapped memory read only

From: Tadeusz Struk <tadeusz.struk@...aro.org>

commit a659daf63d16aa883be42f3f34ff84235c302198 upstream.

Syzbot found an issue in usbmon module, where the user space client can
corrupt the monitor's internal memory, causing the usbmon module to
crash the kernel with segfault, UAF, etc.

The reproducer mmaps the /dev/usbmon memory to user space, and
overwrites it with arbitrary data, which causes all kinds of issues.

Return an -EPERM error from mon_bin_mmap() if the flag VM_WRTIE is set.
Also clear VM_MAYWRITE to make it impossible to change it to writable
later.
