vfio/cdx: prevent read-only region mappings from becoming writable

Browse Source 
vfio_cdx_mmap() rejects writable mappings of regions without the WRITE
flag, but leaves VM_MAYWRITE set.  Userspace can map such a region
read-only and then upgrade the mapping to writable with mprotect(),
writing to MMIO regions the device marks read-only.

Clear VM_MAYWRITE for regions without the WRITE flag, as i915 does for
its read-only objects and as fixed in drm/vc4 (CVE-2026-68445),
drm/panthor (CVE-2024-53071) and commit a5edadbae5 ("ptp: vmclock:
prevent read-only mappings from becoming writable").

Note this is defensive hardening: no in-tree cdx device currently
publishes a region without the WRITE flag.  The guard costs nothing and
keeps the mmap() interface honest if a read-only region ever appears.
