[PATCH] selftests/proc: make proc-maps-race work with READ_IMPLIES_EXEC

[PATCH] selftests/proc: make proc-maps-race work with READ_IMPLIES_EXEC

[Karl Mehltretter]

On READ_IMPLIES_EXEC systems, the readable test VMA already has
PROT_EXEC. The replacement mapping therefore does not create a split.

Use PROT_NONE instead; it cannot merge with the readable neighbors.

Tested on QEMU versatilepb with ARM926, and on
realview-eb-mpcore with ARM11MPCore.

Fixes: beb69e817246 ("selftests/proc: add /proc/pid/maps tearing from vma split test")
