As I-Cache flush on current RISC-V needs to send IPIs to every CPU cores
in the system is very costly, limiting flush_icache_mm to be called only
when vma->vm_flags has VM_EXEC can help minimize the frequency of these
operations. It improves performance and reduces disturbances when
copy_from_user_page is needed such as profiling with perf.
For I-D coherence concerns, it will not fail if such a page adds VM_EXEC
flags in the future since we have checked it in the __set_pte_at function.
