With PIE enabled, PROT_SECT_NORMAL would map onto PAGE_KERNEL_RO.
Add PTE_WRITE so that this maps onto PAGE_KERNEL, so that it is writable.

Without PIE, this should enable DBM for PROT_SECT_NORMAL. However PTE_RDONLY
is already cleared, so the DBM mechanism is not used, and it is always writable,
so this is functionally equivalent.
