Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 6/8] mseal: Check seal flag for mremap(2)

From: Jeff Xu <jeffxu@...gle.com>

mremap(2) can shrink/expand a VMA, or move a VMA to a fixed
address and overwriting or existing VMA. Sealing will
prevent unintended mremap(2) call.

What this patch does:
When a mremap(2) is invoked, if one of its VMAs has MM_SEAL_MREMAP
set from previous mseal(2) call, this mremap(2) will fail, without
any VMA modified.

This patch is based on following:
1. At syscall entry point: SYSCALL_DEFINE5(mremap,...)
There are two cases:
a. going into mremap_to().
b. not going into mremap_to().

2. For mremap_to() case.
Since mremap_to() is called only from SYSCALL_DEFINE5(mremap,..),
omit changing signature of mremap_to(), i.e. not passing
checkSeals flag.
In mremap_to(), it calls can_modify_mm() for src address and
dst address (when MREMAP_FIXED is used), before any update is
made to the VMAs.

3. For non mremap_to() case.
It is still part of SYSCALL_DEFINE5(mremap,...).
It calls can_modify_mm() to check sealing in the src address,
before any update is made to src VMAs.
Check for dest address is not needed, because dest memory is
allocated in current mremap(2) call.
