mm: don't lose the SOFT_DIRTY flag on mprotect
The SOFT_DIRTY bit shows that the content of memory was changed after a
defined point in the past. mprotect() doesn't change the content of
memory, so it must not change the SOFT_DIRTY bit.
This bug causes a malfunction: on the first iteration all pages are
dumped. On other iterations only pages with the SOFT_DIRTY bit are
dumped. So if the SOFT_DIRTY bit is cleared from a page by mistake, the
page is not dumped and its content will be restored incorrectly.
This patch does nothing with _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY, becase pte_modify()
is called only for present pages.
Fixes commit 0f8975ec4db2 ("mm: soft-dirty bits for user memory changes
tracking").
