drm/xe/mmio_gem: reject VM_EXEC and drop VM_DONTCOPY

Browse source

Hardware MMIO registers should never be executable; reject VM_EXEC
at mmap time and clear VM_MAYEXEC to prevent later mprotect attempts.

Also drop VM_DONTCOPY so that child processes across fork() can
inherit the mapping and lazily fault in the PFNs, matching standard
DRM GEM semantics and making the existing drm_gem_vm_open() callback
functional.

This aligns with existing PCI_BARRIER, which will use this in the next
patch. We don't want any noticeable behaviour change there, since this
will be user visible. This will also be the first user.
