description:
Do not toggle global security.pax.mprotect state in an attempt to
activate it for the current process. It does not work and tests should
not change global system state anyway.
Instead: skip the test is pax.mprotect is not globally enabled. We could
use a better check for this (querying the current processes pax flags),
but unfortunately we don't have one.
