mm: Do early cow for pinned pages during fork() for ptes

Browse source 
This allows copy_pte_range() to do early cow if the pages were pinned on
the source mm.

Currently we don't have an accurate way to know whether a page is pinned
or not.  The only thing we have is page_maybe_dma_pinned().  However
that's good enough for now.  Especially, with the newly added
mm->has_pinned flag to make sure we won't affect processes that never
pinned any pages.

It would be easier if we can do GFP_KERNEL allocation within
copy_one_pte().  Unluckily, we can't because we're with the page table
locks held for both the parent and child processes.  So the page
allocation needs to be done outside copy_one_pte().

Some trick is there in copy_present_pte(), majorly the wrprotect trick
to block concurrent fast-gup.  Comments in the function should explain
better in place.

Oleg Nesterov reported a (probably harmless) bug during review that we
didn't reset entry.val properly in copy_pte_range() so that potentially
there's chance to call add_swap_count_continuation() multiple times on
the same swp entry.  However that should be harmless since even if it
happens, the same function (add_swap_count_continuation()) will return
directly noticing that there're enough space for the swp counter.  So
instead of a standalone stable patch, it is touched up in this patch
directly.

* The trick starts.
*
* What we want to do is to check whether this page may
* have been pinned by the parent process. If so,
* instead of wrprotect the pte on both sides, we copy
* the page immediately so that we'll always guarantee
* the pinned page won't be randomly replaced in the
* future.
*
* To achieve this, we do the following:
*
* 1. Write-protect the pte if it's writable. This is
* to protect concurrent write fast-gup with
* FOLL_PIN, so that we'll fail the fast-gup with
* the write bit removed.
*
* 2. Check page_maybe_dma_pinned() to see whether this
* page may have been pinned.
*
* The order of these steps is important to serialize
* against the fast-gup code (gup_pte_range()) on the
* pte check and try_grab_compound_head(), so that
* we'll make sure either we'll capture that fast-gup
* so we'll copy the pinned page here, or we'll fail
* that fast-gup.
*
* NOTE! Even if we don't end up copying the page,
* we won't undo this wrprotect(), because the normal
* reference copy will need it anyway.
