mlock: operate on any regions with protection != PROT_NONE
As Tao Ma noticed, change 5ecfda04 breaks blktrace. This is because blktrace mmaps a file with PROT_WRITE permissions but without PROT_READ, so my attempt to not unnecessarity break COW during mlock ended up causing mlock to fail with a permission problem. I am proposing to let mlock ignore vma protection in all cases except PROT_NONE. In particular, mlock should not fail for PROT_WRITE regions (as in the blktrace case, which broke at 5ecfda04) or for PROT_EXEC regions (which seem to me like they were always broken).
