mm: ignore MAP_DENYWRITE in ksys_mmap_pgoff()
Let's also remove masking off MAP_DENYWRITE from ksys_mmap_pgoff(): the last in-tree occurrence of MAP_DENYWRITE is now in LEGACY_MAP_MASK, which accepts the flag e.g., for MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE; however, the flag is ignored throughout the kernel now. Add a comment to LEGACY_MAP_MASK stating that MAP_DENYWRITE is ignored. Acked-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> Acked-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Signed-off-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com>
