Turned out that mmap() handler was already masking with RWX. So I
removed masking from there and do it as the first step in
sgx_encl_may_map(), which is called by the both handlers:

int sgx_encl_may_map(struct sgx_encl *encl, unsigned long start,
		     unsigned long end, unsigned long vm_flags)
{
	unsigned long vm_prot_bits = vm_flags & (VM_READ | VM_WRITE | VM_EXEC);
	unsigned long idx, idx_start, idx_end;
	struct sgx_encl_page *page;

Also renamed the last function parameter from vm_flags to vm_port_bits.
Kind of makes the flow more understandable (i.e. vm_prot_bits is purely
internal representation, not something caller needs to be concerned of).
