I think we need to be cautious of scope here :) I don't want to
accidentally break things this way.

IMHO it is worth doing when you get into more driver places it is far
more obvious why the VM_SHARED is being checked.

OK I think a sensible way forward - How about I add desc_is_cowable() or
vma_desc_cowable() and only set this if I'm confident it's correct?

I'm thinking to call it vma_desc_never_cowable() as that is much much
clear what the purpose is.

Secretmem wants no private mappings. So we should check exactly that, not whether we might have a cow mapping.
