mm: don't lose the SOFT_DIRTY flag on mprotect

Browse Source 
The SOFT_DIRTY bit shows that the content of memory was changed after a
defined point in the past.  mprotect() doesn't change the content of
memory, so it must not change the SOFT_DIRTY bit.

This bug causes a malfunction: on the first iteration all pages are
dumped.  On other iterations only pages with the SOFT_DIRTY bit are
dumped.  So if the SOFT_DIRTY bit is cleared from a page by mistake, the
page is not dumped and its content will be restored incorrectly.

This patch does nothing with _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY, becase pte_modify()
is called only for present pages.

Fixes commit 0f8975ec4d ("mm: soft-dirty bits for user memory changes
tracking").
