From: Matthew Wilcox <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> track_pfn_insert() overwrites the pgprot that is passed in with a value based on the VMA's page_prot. This is a problem for people trying to do clever things with the new vm_insert_pfn_prot() as it will simply overwrite the passed protection flags. If we use the current value of the pgprot as the base, then it will behave as people are expecting. Also fix track_pfn_remap() in the same way.
