[ Upstream commit 6569fc12e4 ]

Commit 8aeb7b17f0 ("RISC-V: Make mmap() with PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ")
allows riscv to use mmap with PROT_WRITE only, and meanwhile mmap with w+x
is also permitted. However, when userspace tries to access this page with
PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC, which causes infinite loop at load page fault as
well as it triggers soft lockup. According to riscv privileged spec,
"Writable pages must also be marked readable". The fix to drop the
`PAGE_COPY_READ_EXEC` and then `PAGE_COPY_EXEC` would be just used instead.
This aligns the other arches (i.e arm64) for protection_map.
