riscv/mm: ensure PROT_WRITE leads to VM_READ | VM_WRITE

'arch_calc_vm_prot_bits' is implemented on risc-v to return VM_READ |
VM_WRITE if PROT_WRITE is specified. Similarly 'riscv_sys_mmap' is
updated to convert all incoming PROT_WRITE to (PROT_WRITE | PROT_READ).
This is to make sure that any existing apps using PROT_WRITE still work.

Earlier 'protection_map[VM_WRITE]' used to pick read-write PTE encodings.
Now 'protection_map[VM_WRITE]' will always pick PAGE_SHADOWSTACK PTE
encodings for shadow stack. The above changes ensure that existing apps
continue to work because underneath, the kernel will be picking
'protection_map[VM_WRITE|VM_READ]' PTE encodings.
