Subject: mm/mprotect: convert mprotect code to use vma_flags_t
Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2026 19:45:09 +0100

Replace use of the legacy vm_flags_t flags with vma_flags_t values
throughout the mprotect logic.

Note that we retain the legacy vm_flags_t bit shifting code in
do_mprotect_pkey(), deferring a vma_flags_t approach to this for the time
being.

Additionally update comments to reflect the changes to be consistent.

No functional change intended.
