[PATCH v3] vfio/fsl-mc: prevent read-only region mappings from becoming writable

[Abdifatah Suruur <suruurism@gmail.com>]

vfio_fsl_mc_mmap() rejects writable mappings of regions without the
WRITE flag, but leaves VM_MAYWRITE set.  Userspace can map such a region
read-only and then upgrade the mapping to writable with mprotect().

Clear VM_MAYWRITE for regions without the WRITE flag, as i915 does for
its read-only objects and as fixed in drm/vc4 (CVE-2026-68445),
drm/panthor (CVE-2024-53071) and commit a5edadbae57e ("ptp: vmclock:
prevent read-only mappings from becoming writable").

Note this is defensive hardening: the fsl-mc bus publishes all device
regions with the WRITE flag set, so no device can currently reach the
read-only path.  The guard costs nothing and keeps the mmap() interface
honest if a read-only region ever appears.

v2: commit log now states plainly that the read-only path is
unreachable in practice, per Alex's review; dropped Cc: stable as
there is no reachable issue to backport.
v3: use 'commit <sha> ("<title>")' style for the vmclock reference
and point Fixes at the MMAP support commit, matching the same review
points on the vfio/platform patch.
