From: Yulei Zhang <yuleixzhang@xxxxxxxxxxx>
While follow_pmd_mask(), dmem huge pmd should be recognized and return
error pointer of '-EEXIST' to indicate that proper page table entry exists
in pmd special but no corresponding struct page, because dmem page means
non struct page backend. We update pmd if foll_flags takes FOLL_TOUCH.
