mm/vma: introduce VM_ACCESS_FLAGS
There are many places where all basic VMA access flags (read, write,
exec) are initialized or checked against as a group. One such example
is during page fault. Existing vma_is_accessible() wrapper already
creates the notion of VMA accessibility as a group access permissions.
Hence lets just create VM_ACCESS_FLAGS (VM_READ|VM_WRITE|VM_EXEC) which
will not only reduce code duplication but also extend the VMA
accessibility concept in general.
