From: Jeff Xu <jeffxu@chromium.org>

Certain types of madvise() operations are destructive, such as
MADV_DONTNEED, which can effectively alter region contents by
discarding pages, especially when memory is anonymous. This blocks
such operations for anonymous memory which is not writable to the
user.

The MM_SEAL_DISCARD_RO_ANON blocks such operations if users don't have
access to the memory, and the memory is anonymous memory.

We do not think such sealing is useful for file-backed mapping because
it should repopulate the memory contents from the underlying mapped
file. We also do not think it is useful if the user can write to the
memory because then the attacker can also write.
