Subject: mm: refactor map_deny_write_exec()
Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2024 21:40:54 +0100
Refactor the map_deny_write_exec() to not unnecessarily require a VMA
parameter but rather to accept VMA flags parameters, which allows us to
use this function early in mmap_region() in a subsequent commit.
While we're here, we refactor the function to be more readable and add
some additional documentation.
