mm/vma: convert __mmap_region() to use vma_flags_t
Update the mmap() implementation logic implemented in __mmap_region() and functions invoked by it. The mmap_region() function converts its input vm_flags_t parameter to a vma_flags_t value which it then passes to __mmap_region() which uses the vma_flags_t value consistently from then on. As part of the change, we convert map_deny_write_exec() to using vma_flags_t (it was incorrectly using unsigned long before), and place it in vma.h, as it is only used internal to mm. With this change, we eliminate the legacy is_shared_maywrite_vm_flags() helper function which is now no longer required. We are also able to update the MMAP_STATE() and VMG_MMAP_STATE() macros to use the vma_flags_t value. Finally, we update the VMA tests to reflect the change.
