Patch series "use vm_flags_t consistently".
The VMA flags field vma->vm_flags is of type vm_flags_t. Right now this
is exactly equivalent to unsigned long, but it should not be assumed to
be.
Much code that references vma->vm_flags already correctly uses vm_flags_t,
but a fairly large chunk of code simply uses unsigned long and assumes
that the two are equivalent.
This series corrects that and has us use vm_flags_t consistently.
This series is motivated by the desire to, in a future series, adjust
vm_flags_t to be a u64 regardless of whether the kernel is 32-bit or
64-bit in order to deal with the VMA flag exhaustion issue and avoid all
the various problems that arise from it (being unable to use certain
features in 32-bit, being unable to add new flags except for 64-bit, etc.)
This is therefore a critical first step towards that goal. At any rate,
using the correct type is of value regardless.
We additionally take the opportunity to refer to VMA flags as vm_flags
where possible to make clear what we're referring to.
Overall, this series does not introduce any functional change.
This patch (of 3):
We abstract the type of the VMA flags to vm_flags_t, however in may places
it is simply assumed this is unsigned long, which is simply incorrect.
At the moment this is simply an incongruity, however in future we plan to
change this type and therefore this change is a critical requirement for
doing so.
Overall, this patch does not introduce any functional change.

This moves protection_map[] inside the platform and makes it a static.
This also defines a helper function add_encrypt_protection_map() that can
update the protection_map[] array with pgprot_encrypted().

This defines and exports a platform specific custom vm_get_page_prot() via
subscribing ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT. This also unsubscribes from config
ARCH_HAS_FILTER_PGPROT, after dropping off arch_filter_pgprot() and
arch_vm_get_page_prot().
