[PATCH RFP-V4 05/13] RFP prot support: disallow mprotect() on manyprots mappings

[Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso]

From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@xxxxxxxx>

For now we (I and Hugh) have found no agreement on which behavior to implement
here. So, at least as a stop-gap, return an error here.
