This series removes all in-tree usage of MAP_DENYWRITE from the kernel

user space applications a while ago because of the chance for DoS.
The last renaming user is binfmt binary loading during exec and
legacy library loading via uselib().
So, how do we want to continue with this? Pick it up for v5.15? Have it 
in -next for a while and eventually pick it up for v5.16?

I think the "remove ETXTBSY completely" and "remove the sanity mapping 
check" thingies should be done on top.
