memfd: deny writeable mappings when implying SEAL_WRITE
When SEAL_EXEC is added, SEAL_WRITE is implied to make W^X. But the
implied seal is set after the check that makes sure the memfd can not have
any writable mappings. This means one can use SEAL_EXEC to apply
SEAL_WRITE while having writeable mappings.
This breaks the contract that SEAL_WRITE provides and can be used by an
attacker to pass a memfd that appears to be write sealed but can still be
modified arbitrarily.
Fix this by adding the implied seals before the call for
mapping_deny_writable() is done.
