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).
