From: Lorenzo Stoakes <lorenzo.stoakes@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 0fb4a7ad270b3b209e510eb9dc5b07bf02b7edaf ] 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.
