4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ram Pai <linuxram@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit eabdb8ca8690eedd461e61ea7780595fbbae8132 upstream.
Disassociate the exec_key from a VMA if the VMA permission is not
PROT_EXEC anymore. Otherwise the exec_only key continues to be
associated with the vma, causing unexpected behavior.
The problem was reported on x86 by Shakeel Butt, which is also
applicable on powerpc.
