While I was debugging the initial issue I stumbled over the following
- care to take it as part of this series?

[PATCH] mm: vm_brk_flags don't bail out while holding lock

Calling vm_brk_flags() with flags set other than VM_EXEC
will exit the function without releasing the mmap_write_lock.

Just do the sanity check before the lock is acquired. This
doesn't fix an actual issue since no caller sets a flag other
than VM_EXEC.
