mm/vma: convert __mmap_region() to use vma_flags_t

Update the mmap() implementation logic implemented in __mmap_region() and
functions invoked by it.  The mmap_region() function converts its input
vm_flags_t parameter to a vma_flags_t value which it then passes to
__mmap_region() which uses the vma_flags_t value consistently from then
on.

As part of the change, we convert map_deny_write_exec() to using
vma_flags_t (it was incorrectly using unsigned long before), and place it
in vma.h, as it is only used internal to mm.

With this change, we eliminate the legacy is_shared_maywrite_vm_flags()
helper function which is now no longer required.

We are also able to update the MMAP_STATE() and VMG_MMAP_STATE() macros to
use the vma_flags_t value.

Finally, we update the VMA tests to reflect the change.
