[ Upstream commit 0fb4a7ad270b3b209e510eb9dc5b07bf02b7edaf ]

Refactor the map_deny_write_exec() to not unnecessarily require a VMA
parameter but rather to accept VMA flags parameters, which allows us to
use this function early in mmap_region() in a subsequent commit.

While we're here, we refactor the function to be more readable and add
some additional documentation.
