Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/pkeys: Detach execute_only key on !PROT_EXEC

References: FATE#322447, bsc#1078248, git-fixes
Patch-mainline: v4.18-rc1
Git-commit: eabdb8ca8690eedd461e61ea7780595fbbae8132

Disassociate the exec_key from a VMA if the VMA permission is not
PROT_EXEC anymore. Otherwise the exec_only key continues to be
associated with the vma, causing unexpected behavior.

The problem was reported on x86 by Shakeel Butt, which is also
applicable on powerpc.
