When serving a page fault, maybe_mkwrite() makes a PTE writable if its vma
has VM_WRITE.

A shadow stack vma has VM_SHADOW_STACK.  Its PTEs have _PAGE_DIRTY, but not
_PAGE_WRITE.  In fork(), _PAGE_DIRTY is cleared to cause copy-on-write,
and in the page fault handler, _PAGE_DIRTY is restored and the shadow stack
page is writable again.

Introduce an x86 version of maybe_mkwrite(), which sets proper PTE bits
according to VM flags.

Apply the same changes to maybe_pmd_mkwrite().

v24:
- Instead of doing arch_maybe_mkwrite(), overwrite maybe*_mkwrite() with x86
  versions.
- Change VM_SHSTK to VM_SHADOW_STACK.

Move it next to other THP-depended stuff.

Otherwise looks good to me:
