Permit ptrace to modify a section that's non-shared but is marked unwritable, such as is obtained by mapping the text segment of an ELF-FDPIC executable binary with into a binary that's being ptraced[*]. [*] Under NOMMU conditions ptrace causes read-only MAP_PRIVATE mmaps to become totally private copies because if a private mapping was actually shared then the debugging setting breakpoints in it would potentially crash other processes. This is done by using the VM_MAYWRITE flag rather than the VM_WRITE flag when deciding whether to permit a write. Without this patch a debugger can't set breakpoints in the mapped text sections of executables that are mapped read-only private, even if the mmap() syscall has taken a private copy because PT_PTRACED is set. In addition, VM_MAYREAD is used instead of VM_READ for similar reasons.
