[RFC PATCH 1/2] x86: Don't let pgprot_modify() change the page encryption bit

From: Thomas HellstrÃm (VMware)

From: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom@xxxxxxxxxx>

When SEV or SME is enabled and active, vm_get_page_prot() typically
returns with the encryption bit set. This means that users of
pgprot_modify(, vm_get_page_prot()) (mprotect_fixup, do_mmap) typically
unintentionally sets encrypted page protection even on mmap'd coherent
memory where the mmap callback has cleared the bit. Fix this by not
allowing pgprot_modify() to change the encryption bit, similar to
how it's done for PAT bits.
