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.
