mm/mprotect.c: don't imply PROT_EXEC on non-exec fs
The mprotect(PROT_READ) fails when called by the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC binary on a memory mapped file located on non-exec fs. The mprotect does not check whether fs is _executable_ or not. The PROT_EXEC flag is set automatically even if a memory mapped file is located on non-exec fs. Fix it by checking whether a memory mapped file is located on a non-exec fs. If so the PROT_EXEC is not implied by the PROT_READ. The implementation uses the VM_MAYEXEC flag set properly in mmap. Now it is consistent with mmap. I did the isolated tests (PT_GNU_STACK X/NX, multiple VMAs, X/NX fs). I also patched the official 3.19.0-47-generic Ubuntu 14.04 kernel and it seems to work.
