[PATCH 1/1] drm/amdgpu: workaround failed COW checks for Thunk VMAs

KFD Thunk maps invisible VRAM BOs with PROT_NONE, MAP_PRIVATE.
is_cow_mapping returns true for these mappings, which causes mmap to fail
in ttm_bo_mmap_obj.

As a workaround, clear VM_MAYWRITE for PROT_NONE-COW mappings. This
should prevent the mapping from ever becoming writable and makes
is_cow_mapping(vm_flags) false.

Fixes: f91142c62161 ("drm/ttm: nuke VM_MIXEDMAP on BO mappings v3")
