Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] mm: perform the mapping_map_writable() check after call_mmap()

In order for a F_SEAL_WRITE sealed memfd mapping to have an opportunity to
clear VM_MAYWRITE, we must be able to invoke the appropriate vm_ops->mmap()
handler to do so. We would otherwise fail the mapping_map_writable() check
before we had the opportunity to avoid it.

This patch moves this check after the call_mmap() invocation. Only memfd
actively denies write access causing a potential failure here (in
memfd_add_seals()), so there should be no impact on non-memfd cases.

This patch makes the userland-visible change that MAP_SHARED, PROT_READ
mappings of an F_SEAL_WRITE sealed memfd mapping will now succeed.

There is a delicate situation with cleanup paths assuming that a writable
mapping must have occurred in circumstances where it may now not have. In
order to ensure we do not accidentally mark a writable file unwritable by
mistake, we explicitly track whether we have a writable mapping and
unmap only if we do.
