If a VMA has the VM_SHADOW_STACK flag, it is shadow stack memory. So when it is made writable with pte_mkwrite(), it should create shadow stack memory, not conventionally writable memory. Now that all the places where shadow stack memory might be created pass a VMA into pte_mkwrite(), it can know when it should do this. So make pte_mkwrite() create shadow stack memory when the VMA has the VM_SHADOW_STACK flag. Do the same thing for pmd_mkwrite(). This requires referencing VM_SHADOW_STACK in these functions, which are currently defined in pgtable.h, however mm.h (where VM_SHADOW_STACK is located) can't be pulled in without causing problems for files that reference pgtable.h. So also move pte/pmd_mkwrite() into pgtable.c, where they can safely reference VM_SHADOW_STACK.
