Log:
  Do not lose dirty bits for removing PROT_WRITE on arm64.

  Arm64 pmap interprets accessed writable ptes as modified, since
  ARMv8.0 does not track Dirty Bit Modifier in hardware. If writable bit
  is removed, page must be marked as dirty for MI VM.

  This change is most important for COW, where fork caused losing
  content of the dirty pages which were not yet scanned by pagedaemon.
