RISC-V: Don't allow write+exec only page mapping request in mmap

Browse source 
[ Upstream commit e0d17c842c ]

As per the table 4.4 of version "20190608-Priv-MSU-Ratified" of the
RISC-V instruction set manual[0], the PTE permission bit combination of
"write+exec only" is reserved for future use. Hence, don't allow such
mapping request in mmap call.

An issue is been reported by David Abdurachmanov, that while running
stress-ng with "sysbadaddr" argument, RCU stalls are observed on RISC-V
specific kernel.

This issue arises when the stress-sysbadaddr request for pages with
"write+exec only" permission bits and then passes the address obtain
from this mmap call to various system call. For the riscv kernel, the
mmap call should fail for this particular combination of permission bits
since it's not valid.
