v2 cover mm/userfaultfd: fix and cleanup for migration entries with uffd-wp

One fix and one cleanup.

uffd-wp migration entry handling for PTE/PMDs should now be fairly similar code-wise.

v1 -> v2:
- Add RB's
- "mm/userfaultfd: fix uffd-wp handling for THP migration entries" -> pmd_swp_uffd_wp(*pvmw->pmd) -> pmd_uffd_wp(pmdval)

PATCH v2 1/2 mm/userfaultfd: fix uffd-wp handling for THP migration entries

Looks like what we fixed for hugetlb in commit 44f86392bdd1 ("mm/hugetlb:
fix uffd-wp handling for migration entries in hugetlb_change_protection()") similarly applies to THP.

Setting/clearing uffd-wp on THP migration entries is not implemented properly. Further, while removing migration PMDs considers the uffd-wp bit, inserting migration PMDs does not consider the uffd-wp bit.

We have to set/clear independently of the migration entry type in change_huge_pmd() and properly copy the uffd-wp bit in set_pmd_migration_entry().

Verified using a simple reproducer that triggers migration of a THP, that the set_pmd_migration_entry() no longer loses the uffd-wp bit.

Fixes f45ec5ff16a7 ("userfaultfd: wp: support swap and page migration")

PATCH v2 2/2 mm/userfaultfd: don't consider uffd-wp bit of writable migration entries

In reply to David Hildenbrand

If we end up with a writable migration entry that has the uffd-wp bit set, we already messed up: the source PTE/PMD was writable, which means we could have modified the page without notifying uffd first. Setting the uffd-wp bit always implies converting migration entries to !writable migration entries.

Commit 8f34f1eac382 ("mm/userfaultfd: fix uffd-wp special cases for fork()") documents that "3. Forget to carry over uffd-wp bit for a write migration huge pmd entry", but it doesn't really say why that should be relevant.

So let's remove that code to avoid hiding an eventual underlying issue (in the future, we might want to warn when creating writable migration
entries that have the uffd-wp bit set -- or even better when turning a PTE writable that still has the uffd-wp bit set).

This now matches the handling for hugetlb migration entries in hugetlb_change_protection().

In copy_huge_pmd()/copy_nonpresent_pte()/copy_hugetlb_page_range(), we still transfer the uffd-bit also for writable migration entries, but simply because we have unified handling for "writable" and "readable-exclusive" migration entries, and we care about transferring the uffd-wp bit for the latter.
