Why PROT_SHSTK is not part of valid?

NAK.

This is racy. arch_validate_prot() called outside of mmap_lock and the vma
may be freed or modified under us.

do_mprotect_pkey() already calls find_vma() with the right locking. Maybe
re-strucure do_mprotect_pkey() to call arch_validate_prot() after
find_vma() and pass down the vma?
