Test the entire range of VMA's in an encrypt_mprotect() request to
make sure they all meet that requirement before encrypting any.

The encrypt_mprotect syscall will return -EINVAL and will not encrypt
any VMA's if this check fails.

That SoB doesn't make sense; per the From you wrote the patch and signed
off on it, wth is Kirill's SoB doing there?

That's a 'weird' interface and cannot do what the comment says it should
do.

That variable is utterly pointless.
