mm/shmem: handle uffd-wp special pte in page fault handler
File-backed memories are prone to unmap/swap so the ptes are always unstable, because they can be easily faulted back later using the page cache. This could lead to uffd-wp getting lost when unmapping or swapping out such memory. One example is shmem. PTE markers are needed to store those information. This patch prepares it by handling uffd-wp pte markers first it is applied elsewhere, so that the page fault handler can recognize uffd-wp pte markers. The handling of uffd-wp pte markers is similar to missing fault, it's just that we'll handle this "missing fault" when we see the pte markers, meanwhile we need to make sure the marker information is kept during processing the fault. This is a slow path of uffd-wp handling, because zapping of wr-protected shmem ptes should be rare. So far it should only trigger in two conditions: (1) When trying to punch holes in shmem_fallocate(), there is an optimization to zap the pgtables before evicting the page. (2) When swapping out shmem pages. Because of this, the page fault handling is simplifed too by not sending the wr-protect message in the 1st page fault, instead the page will be installed read-only, so the uffd-wp message will be generated in the next fault, which will trigger the do_wp_page() path of general uffd-wp handling. Disable fault-around for all uffd-wp registered ranges for extra safety just like uffd-minor fault, and clean the code up.
