Protection key tracking information is not copied over to the mm_struct of the child during fork(). This can cause the child to erroneously allocate keys that were already allocated. Any allocated execute-only key is lost aswell. Add code; called by dup_mmap(), to copy the pkey state from parent to child explicitly. This problem was originally found by Dave Hansen on x86, which turns out to be a problem on powerpc aswell.
