Subject: [PATCH v2 4/6] mm/mremap: Replace can_modify_mm with can_modify_vma

Delegate all can_modify checks to the proper places. Unmap checks are
done in do_unmap (et al).

This patch allows for mremap partial failure in certain cases (for
instance, when destination VMAs aren't sealed, but the source VMA is).
It shouldn't be too troublesome, as you'd need to go out of your way to
do illegal operations on a VMA.
