In order for an F_SEAL_WRITE sealed memfd mapping to have an opportunity to clear VM_MAYWRITE in seal_check_write() we must be able to invoke either the shmem_mmap() or hugetlbfs_file_mmap() f_ops->mmap() handler to do so. We would otherwise fail the mapping_map_writable() check before we had the opportunity to clear VM_MAYWRITE. However, the existing logic in mmap_region() performs this check BEFORE calling call_mmap() (which invokes file->f_ops->mmap()). We must enforce this check AFTER the function call. In order to avoid any risk of breaking call_mmap() handlers which assume this will have been done first, we continue to mark the file writable first, simply deferring enforcement of it failing until afterwards. This enables mmap(..., PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0) mappings for memfd's sealed via F_SEAL_WRITE to succeed, whereas previously they were not permitted.
