In order for a F_SEAL_WRITE sealed memfd mapping to have an opportunity to clear VM_MAYWRITE, we must be able to invoke the appropriate vm_ops->mmap() handler to do so. We would otherwise fail the mapping_map_writable() check before we had the opportunity to avoid it. This patch moves this check after the call_mmap() invocation. Only memfd actively denies write access causing a potential failure here (in memfd_add_seals()), so there should be no impact on non-memfd cases. This patch makes the userland-visible change that MAP_SHARED, PROT_READ mappings of an F_SEAL_WRITE sealed memfd mapping will now succeed.
