It's true this is maxed out at 511, so there must be at least one
writable and not none pte (as results of the two "ro" and "none"
counters checks).

Hm, but if we consider ro and pte_none separately, both can be lower
than 512, but the sum of the two can be 512, so we can actually be in
read-only VMA?
