arm64: Preventing READ_IMPLIES_EXEC propagation

arm64: Preventing READ_IMPLIES_EXEC propagation

commit 48f99c8ec0b25756d0283ab058826ae07d14fad7 upstream.

Like arch/arm/, we inherit the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality flag across
fork(). This is undesirable for a number of reasons:

  * ELF files that don't require executable stack can end up with it
    anyway

  * We end up performing un-necessary I-cache maintenance when mapping
    what should be non-executable pages

  * Restricting what is executable is generally desirable when defending
    against overflow attacks

This patch clears the personality flag when setting up the personality for
newly spwaned native tasks. Given that semi-recent AArch64 toolchains emit
a non-executable PT_GNU_STACK header, userspace applications can already
not rely on READ_IMPLIES_EXEC so shouldn't be adversely affected by this
change.
