The page is already alloc at ion_alloc function,
ion_mmap map the alloced pages to user-space.

The default prot can be PTE_RDONLY. Take a look at
here:
set_pte_at()
arch/arm64/include/asm:
		if (pte_dirty(pte) && pte_write(pte))
			pte_val(pte) &= ~PTE_RDONLY;
		else
			pte_val(pte) |= PTE_RDONLY;

So with the dirty bit,it can improve the efficiency
and donnot need to handle memory fault when use access.
