From: Rick Edgecombe <rick.p.edgecombe@intel.com>
The zero page should remain all zero, so that it can be mapped as read-only for read faults of memory that should be zeroed. If it is ever mapped writable to userspace, it could become non-zero and so other apps would unexpectedly get non-zero data. So the zero page should never be mapped writable to userspace. Check for this condition in page_table_check_set().
