ima: verify mprotect change is consistent with mmap policy
Files can be mmap'ed read/write and later changed to execute to circumvent IMA's mmap appraise policy rules. Due to locking issues (mmap semaphore would be taken prior to i_mutex), files can not be measured or appraised at this point. Eliminate this integrity gap, by denying the mprotect PROT_EXECUTE change, if an mmap appraise policy rule exists. On mprotect change success, return 0. On failure, return -EACESS.
