Read/Write migration entries: Make mprotect() convert write migrationentries to read

[Christoph Lameter]

1. Introduce a new function make_migration_entry() to
   isolate common code between copy_pte_range and change_pte_range.

2. Modify change_pte_range() to check for a migration entry.
   If a write migration entry is found and there is a request for
   a READ permissions then change the migration entry.

I am a bit concerned about the check of newprot. Are there other
values than PAGE_READONLY that indicate read only access?
