[patch 1/1] selinux: fix and cleanup mprotect checks

[Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov>]

This patch fixes the SELinux mprotect checks on executable mappings so
that they are not re-applied when the mapping is already executable as
well as cleaning up the code.  This avoids a situation where e.g. an
application is prevented from removing PROT_WRITE on an already
executable mapping previously authorized via execmem permission due to
an execmod denial.  Please apply.
