perf: MAP_EXECUTABLE does not indicate VM_MAYEXEC
Patch series "perf/binfmt/mm: remove in-tree usage of MAP_EXECUTABLE". Stumbling over the history of MAP_EXECUTABLE, I noticed that we still have some in-tree users that we can get rid of. This patch (of 3): Before commit e9714acf8c43 ("mm: kill vma flag VM_EXECUTABLE and mm->num_exe_file_vmas"), VM_EXECUTABLE indicated MAP_EXECUTABLE. MAP_EXECUTABLE is nowadays essentially ignored by the kernel and does not relate to VM_MAYEXEC.
