device-dax: fix private mapping restriction, permit read-only
Hugh notes in response to commit 4cb19355ea19 "device-dax: fail all private mapping attempts": "I think that is more restrictive than you intended: haven't tried, but I believe it rejects a PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, O_RDONLY fd mmap, leaving no way to mmap /dev/dax without write permission to it." Indeed it does restrict read-only mappings, switch to checking VM_MAYSHARE, not VM_SHARED.
