Syzbot found an issue in usbmon module, where the user space client
can corrupt the monitor's internal memory, causing the usbmon module
to crash the kernel with segfault, UAF, etc.
The reproducer mmaps the /dev/usbmon memory to user space, and
overwrites it with arbitrary data, which causes all kinds of issues.
Return an -EPERM error from mon_bin_mmap() if the flag VM_WRTIE is set.
Also clear VM_MAYWRITE to make it impossible to change it to writable
later.

v2:
Return an error instead of quietly clearing the flag,
when VM_WRTIE is set. Also clear VM_MAYWRITE.
