In order for a F_SEAL_WRITE sealed memfd mapping to have an opportunity to
clear VM_MAYWRITE, we must be able to invoke the appropriate vm_ops->mmap()
handler to do so. We would otherwise fail the mapping_map_writable() check
before we had the opportunity to avoid it.

This patch moves this check after the call_mmap() invocation. Only memfd
actively denies write access causing a potential failure here (in
memfd_add_seals()), so there should be no impact on non-memfd cases.

This patch makes the userland-visible change that MAP_SHARED, PROT_READ
mappings of an F_SEAL_WRITE sealed memfd mapping will now succeed.

There is a delicate situation with cleanup paths assuming that a writable
mapping must have occurred in circumstances where it may now not have. In
order to ensure we do not accidentally mark a writable file unwritable by
mistake, we explicitly track whether we have a writable mapping and
unmap only if we do.

Andrew, could you apply the following -fix patch to this? As a bug was
detected in the implementation [0] - I was being over-zealous in setting
the writable_file_mapping flag and had falsely assumed vma->vm_file == file
in all instances of the cleanup. The fix is to only set it in one place.

Subject: [PATCH] mm: perform the mapping_map_writable() check after
 call_mmap()

Do not set writable_file_mapping in an instance where it is not appropriate
to do so.
