[PATCH] security: Restore passing final prot to ima_file_mmap()

From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu at huawei.com>

Commit 98de59bfe4b2f ("take calculation of final prot in
security_mmap_file() into a helper") moved the code to update prot with the
actual protection flags to be granted to the requestor by the kernel to a
helper called mmap_prot(). However, the patch didn't update the argument
passed to ima_file_mmap(), making it receive the requested prot instead of
the final computed prot.

A possible consequence is that files mmapped as executable might not be
measured/appraised if PROT_EXEC is not requested but subsequently added in
the final prot.

Replace prot with mmap_prot(prot) as the second argument of ima_file_mmap()
to restore the original behavior.
