[PATCH 4/6] UML - Stop specially protecting kernel stacks

[PATCH 4/6] UML - Stop specially protecting kernel stacks

[Jeff Dike]

Map all of physical memory as executable to avoid having to change
stack protections during fork and exit.

unprotect_stack is now called only from MODE_TT code, so it is marked
as such.
