Subject: mm/memory: convert details->even_cows into details->skip_cows

The current semantics are confusing: simply because someone specifies an
empty zap_detail struct suddenly makes should_zap_cows() behave
differently.  The default should be to also zap CoW'ed anonymous pages.

Really only unmap_mapping_pages() and friends want to skip zapping of
these anon folios.

So let's invert the meaning; turn the confusing "reclaim_pt" check that
overrides other properties in should_zap_cows() into a safety check.

Note that the only caller that sets reclaim_pt=true is
madvise_dontneed_single_vma(), which wants to zap any pages.
