mm/mprotect: drop pgprot_t parameter from change_protection()
Being able to provide a custom protection opens the door for
inconsistencies and BUGs: for example, accidentally allowing for more
permissions than desired by other mechanisms (e.g., softdirty tracking).
vma->vm_page_prot should be the single source of truth.
Only PROT_NUMA is special: there is no way we can erroneously allow
for more permissions when removing all permissions. Special-case using
the MM_CP_PROT_NUMA flag.
[david@redhat.com: PAGE_NONE might not be defined without CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING]
