If PROT_WRITE is set, the size of vm area will be added to Committed_AS.
However, if memory protection is changed to PROT_NONE,
the corresponding physical memory will not be used, but Committed_AS still
count the size of the PROT_NONE memory.
This patch reduce Committed_AS and free the corresponding memory if
memory protection is changed to PROT_NONE.
