This needs a fixed toolchain, and a userspace rebuild to work.
For these reasons, it's had difficulty getting upstream.
ie, Fedora has a new enough toolchain, and has been rebuilt, so we don't need
the ifdefs. Other distros don't/haven't, and this patch would break them
if pushed upstream.

To avoid maintaining per-arch ifdefs, it seems that we could just
directly use (VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS & VM_EXEC) as the basis for deciding
whether to enable or disable these checks. VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS isn't
constant on some architectures but instead depends on
current->personality, but we want this applied uniformly. So we'll just
use the initial task state to determine whether or not to enable these
checks.
