rename to vma_pgprot_modify() accordingly.

This is part of the ongoing work to convert vm_flags_t to vma_flags_t, in
order to eliminate the arbitrary limit of the number of bits in a system
word on available VMA flags.

Update VMA userland tests accordingly, updating vma_set_page_prot() to no
longer inline vma_pgprot_modify(), rather we can simply define
vma_pgprot_modify() as a static inline function and the tests will pick it
up from vma.h.

No functional change intended.
