[PATCH v3 6/8] execmem: drop writable parameter from execmem_fill_trapping_insns()

[Mike Rapoport]

From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@xxxxxxxxxx>

After update of execmem_cache_free() that made memory writable before
updating it, there is no need to update read only memory, so the writable
parameter to execmem_fill_trapping_insns() is not needed. Drop it.
