mm/mprotect: minor can_change_pte_writable() cleanups
We want to replicate this code for handling PMDs soon.
(1) No need to crash the kernel, warning and rejecting is good enough. As
this will no longer get optimized out, drop the pte_write() check: no
harm would be done.
(2) Add a comment why PROT_NONE mapped pages are excluded.
(3) Add a comment regarding MAP_SHARED handling and why we rely on the
dirty bit in the PTE.
