mm: uncached vma support with writenotify 

Modify the generic mmap() code to keep the cache attribute in
vma->vm_page_prot regardless if writenotify is enabled or not.  Without
this patch the cache configuration selected by f_op->mmap() is overwritten
if writenotify is enabled, making it impossible to keep the vma uncached.

Needed by drivers such as drivers/video/sh_mobile_lcdcfb.c which uses
deferred io together with uncached memory.
