6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Oleg Nesterov oleg@redhat.com
commit 34820304cc2cd1804ee1f8f3504ec77813d29c8e upstream.
xol_add_vma() maps the uninitialized page allocated by __create_xol_area() into userspace. On some architectures (x86) this memory is readable even without VM_READ, VM_EXEC results in the same pgprot_t as VM_EXEC|VM_READ, although this doesn't really matter, debugger can read this memory anyway.
