mm: prevent droppable mappings from being locked
Droppable mappings must not be lockable. There is a check for VMAs with
VM_DROPPABLE set in mlock_fixup() along with checks for other types of
unlockable VMAs which ensures this when calling mlock()/mlock2().
For mlockall(MCL_FUTURE), the check for unlockable VMAs is different. In
apply_mlockall_flags(), if the flags parameter has MCL_FUTURE set, the
current task's mm's default VMA flag field mm->def_flags has VM_LOCKED
applied to it. VM_LOCKONFAULT is also applied if MCL_ONFAULT is also set.
When these flags are set as default in this manner they are cleared in
__mmap_complete() for new mappings that do not support mlock. A check for
VM_DROPPABLE in __mmap_complete() is missing resulting in droppable
mappings created with VM_LOCKED set. To fix this and reduce that chance
of similar bugs in the future, introduce and use vma_supports_mlock().
