arm64: Ensure VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED ptes are clean by default

Shared and writable mappings (__S.1.) should be clean (!dirty) initially
and made dirty on a subsequent write either through the hardware DBM
(dirty bit management) mechanism or through a write page fault. A clean
pte for the arm64 kernel is one that has PTE_RDONLY set and PTE_DIRTY
clear.

The PAGE_SHARED{,_EXEC} attributes have PTE_WRITE set (PTE_DBM) and
PTE_DIRTY clear. Prior to commit 73e86cb03cf2 ("arm64: Move PTE_RDONLY
bit handling out of set_pte_at()"), it was the responsibility of
set_pte_at() to set the PTE_RDONLY bit and mark the pte clean if the
software PTE_DIRTY bit was not set. However, the above commit removed
the pte_sw_dirty() check and the subsequent setting of PTE_RDONLY in
set_pte_at() while leaving the PAGE_SHARED{,_EXEC} definitions
unchanged. The result is that shared+writable mappings are now dirty by
default

Fix the above by explicitly setting PTE_RDONLY in PAGE_SHARED{,_EXEC}.
In addition, remove the superfluous PTE_DIRTY bit from the kernel PROT_*
attributes.
