[v3,4/5] mm: Add a NO_INHERIT flag to the PR_SET_MDWE prctl
Commit Message
This extends the current PR_SET_MDWE prctl arg with a bit to indicate
that the process doesn't want MDWE protection to propagate to children.
To implement this no-inherit mode, the tag in current->mm->flags must be
absent from MMF_INIT_MASK. This means that the encoding for "MDWE but
without inherit" is different in the prctl than in the mm flags. This
leads to a bit of bit-mangling in the prctl implementation.

I had a similar doubt initially but then realised that the no-inherit
mode won't be inherited and concluded it's ok.

This works for me, it's easier to read. I don't expect a use-case where
the app starts with MDWE no-inherit, forks some new processes and wants
to turn inherit on for further forking.

Nitpick: the type conversion should be handled by the compiler as
prctl_get_mdwe() returns an int already.
