x86, PAT: Change vma prot in pci_mmap to reflect inherited prot
    
While looking at the issue in the thread
http://marc.info/?l=dri-devel&m=123606627824556&w=2
noticed a bug in pci PAT code and memory type setting.
    
pci mmap code did not set the proper protection in vma, when it
inherited protection in reserve_memtype. This bug only affects
the case where there exists a WC mapping before X does an mmap
with /proc or /sys pci interface. This will cause X userlevel
mmap from /proc or /sysfs to fail on fork.
