Don't enable minimum mmap checking by default in SELinux, as it may break
existing applications which do not have updated policy.
We will be able to enable it by default later, once we have code to handle
new permissions which are not present in the user's policy.

This is an updated version of the patch, essentially a reverting an
earlier patch which I'll drop once this are settles down.
