From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx>
pgprot_modify() is available on x86, but on other architectures it only
gets defined in mm/mprotect.c - breaking the build if anything outside
of mprotect.c tries to make use of this function.
Move it to the generic pgprot area in mm.h, so that an upcoming patch
can make use of it.
