I would suggest to express the above instead like this for clarity
and consistency:

		goto err_map_sem;
	}

	/* Query VM_MAYEXEC as an indirect path_noexec() check
	 * (see do_mmap()).
	 */
	if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_MAYEXEC)) {
		ret = -EACCES;
		goto err_mmap_sem;
	}

	if (copy_from_user(dst, (void __user *)src, PAGE_SIZE)) {
		ret = -EFAULT;
		goto err_mmap_sem;
	}

	return 0;

err_mmap_sem:
	up_read(&current->mm->mmap_sem);
	return ret;
}

The comment about future proofing is unnecessary.
