Commit 2139619bcad7 ("riscv: mmap with PROT_WRITE but no PROT_READ is invalid") made mmap() return EINVAL if PROT_WRITE was set wihtout PROT_READ with the justification that a write-only PTE is considered a reserved PTE permission bit pattern in the privileged spec. This check is unnecessary since we let VM_WRITE imply VM_READ on RISC-V, and it is inconsistent with other architectures that don't support write-only PTEs, creating a potential software portability issue. Just remove the check altogether and let PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ as is the case on other architectures. Note that this also allows PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC mappings which were disallowed prior to the aforementioned commit; PROT_READ is implied in such mappings as well.
