Subject: [PATCH hotfix 6.12 3/8] mm: refactor map_deny_write_exec()

Refactor the map_deny_write_exec() to not unnecessarily require a VMA
parameter but rather to accept VMA flags parameters, which allows us to use
this function early in mmap_region() in a subsequent commit.

While we're here, we refactor the function to be more readable and add some
additional documentation.

Reported-by: Jann Horn <jannh@...gle.com>
Fixes: deb0f6562884 ("mm/mmap: undo ->mmap() when arch_validate_flags() fails")
