      To avoid maintaining per-arch ifdefs, it seems that we could just
      directly use (VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS & VM_EXEC) as the basis for deciding
      whether to enable or disable these checks.   VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS isn't
      constant on some architectures but instead depends on
      current->personality, but we want this applied uniformly.  So we'll just
      use the initial task state to determine whether or not to enable these
      checks.
