[PATCH] selinux: fix mprotect PROT_EXEC regression caused by mm change

[Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov>]

commit 66fc13039422ba7df2d01a8ee0873e4ef965b50b ("mm: shmem_zero_setup skip
security check and lockdep conflict with XFS") caused a regression for
SELinux by disabling any SELinux checking of mprotect PROT_EXEC on
shared anonymous mappings.  However, even before that regression, the
checking on such mprotect PROT_EXEC calls was inconsistent with the
checking on a mmap PROT_EXEC call for a shared anonymous mapping.  On a
mmap, the security hook is passed a NULL file and knows it is dealing with
an anonymous mapping and therefore applies an execmem check and no file
checks.  On a mprotect, the security hook is passed a vma with a
non-NULL vm_file (as this was set from the internally-created shmem
file during mmap) and therefore applies the file-based execute check and
no execmem check.  Since the aforementioned commit now marks the shmem
zero inode with the S_PRIVATE flag, the file checks are disabled and
we have no checking at all on mprotect PROT_EXEC.  Add a test to
the mprotect hook logic for such private inodes, and apply an execmem
check in that case.  This makes the mmap and mprotect checking consistent
for shared anonymous mappings, as well as for /dev/zero and ashmem.
