mm/mprotect: drop pgprot_t parameter from change_protection()
Being able to provide a custom protection opens the door for inconsistencies and BUGs: for example, accidentally allowing for more permissions than desired by other mechanisms (e.g., softdirty tracking). vma->vm_page_prot should be the single source of truth. Only PROT_NUMA is special: there is no way we can erroneously allow for more permissions when removing all permissions. Special-case using the MM_CP_PROT_NUMA flag.
