maybe_mkwrite creates PTEs with WRITE encodings for underlying arch if
VM_WRITE is turned on in vma->vm_flags. Shadow stack memory is a write-
able memory except it can only be written by certain specific
instructions. This patch allows maybe_mkwrite to create shadow stack PTEs
if vma is shadow stack VMA. Each arch can define which combination of VMA
flags means a shadow stack.
Additionally pte_mkshdwstk must be provided by arch specific PTE
construction headers to create shadow stack PTEs. (in arch specific
pgtable.h).
This patch provides dummy/stub pte_mkshdwstk if CONFIG_USER_SHADOW_STACK
is not selected.
